Will Apple Honor NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT failure to non-original owner
Hello all,
I have a Sept 2007 MacBook Pro 15 2.4 that falls into the catagory of the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT high failure rate.
My MacBook's video just died "Black Screen" but it still boots, and chimes but no vidoe and it won't display video to an external monitor either.
My question is will Apple honor the following statement if you are not the original owner of the MacBook?
"In July 2008, NVIDIA publicly acknowledged a higher than normal failure rate for some of their graphics processors due to a packaging defect. At that same time, NVIDIA assured Apple that Mac computers with these graphics processors were not affected. However, after an Apple-led investigation, Apple has determined that some MacBook Pro computers with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor may be affected. If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within three years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty."
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Apple should show some class and do the right thing here! they extended the warranty for 4 years, but to me, thats like saying they only put a 4 year life span on their products!!! Were talking about a defective component here! the chip will fail!! Apple was negligent! end of story!! and the test that they do to see if the NVIDIA 8600 is the true cause, is a joke!!! Im a Mac user!! always was! and will always be! but Im really disappointed with Apple's actions here!! I'll never buy a new Mac again! thanks to Apple warning me about their negligent tendencies!!

Just a follow up on this. Apple did honor their extended warranty, they just ran a test and found that the Nvidia Video Chip was faulty and was told I'll get a new Logic Board free of charge.
Very Happy!!!!
