Nvidia problem on MacBook pro/ apple service no help

nicknackgtb · 2012-11-15 13:15:10

Hi there, Computer decided to give up and not work any more, dropped it into compu b where they said it was the nvidia that had failed. To fix would be 600 euros. The apple website says that they will replace these within the 4 years of purchase date, I am 6 months out. How can apple sell a product that has a defect…

I don't think it was just Apple. Apple, Dell extended their warranties to cover this fault (Nvidia GFX Chipset ) for the expect life of the machine, which they set as 4yrs. I'm not sure if HP or others did the same though. You can't fix this chipset. Even if they replace it, the new part will have the same fault.
