iMac 2012 White and black stripes on the monitor!

I understand your disappointment, but the philosophy is not all that absurd.

(auto manufactures would go out of business, if they replaced your engine every 100,000 miles)

Apple had an extended repair program for a time, but unfortunately yours went on beyond that point in time.

(remember that AMD made those graphic's cards and Apple was just as much a victim here as you)

I know it doesn't help, but personally I would buy another machine instead of spending a wad on that machine.

We are all end users just like you, Apple does not read or participate in these forums.

You are correct, Apple did not send out an e-mail or call you. If you have feedback for Apple, please feel free to submit it at www.apple.com/feedback. You can also take the machine back to the store you purchased it from, BTW it's a 2011 and not a 2012 and ask for assistance. You can also attempt to have the machine repaired assuming the parts are still available.

Sorry, I know this is not what you wanted to read however I believe they are your best options.

Clear what you say, but I can throw only after 5 years iMac 2.200 € ???

If your into major computer DIY projects, then another option would be to fix it yourself for less.

I never received an email or official telephone communication ALERT me for an iMac with structural serious problem.
