#70093 — MacBook Pro Repair Extension Program for Video Issues

Apple finally throw in the towel and make good.

This includes reimbursements for those who paid to have it fixed out of 
warranty:

or an Apple Authorized Service Provider to arrange reimbursement.  If 
you have not been contacted, but paid for a repair that you think was

Long overdue, and it's a shame it takes a lawsuit these days to force
Apple to do the right thing. My MacBook Pro 17 is one of the effected
models, but I haven't pushed the video hardware enough to see any
problems with it. I plan to spend some quality time during the next
month or two pushing the hell out of it to see if I can get any of the
qualifying symptoms.

Hopefully it's one of the (majority) ones that is not affected.
