it’s being fixed.
for FREE!
I brought my Macbook Pro into the local Apple store genius bar. (Had an appointment) I told them I wanted them to run a hardware diagnostic because my laptop wouldn’t boot but only show a checkboard pattern over the grey Apple logo. (See my previous post)
They plugged in a USB drive, booted from the drive. It ran some program that checked my graphics chip, saw that was defective. This defect was covered beyond the normal warranty. They took my information and sent my laptop off to their repair depot to be fixed.
Looks like I may get it back before the end of the week too.
Good customer experience.
Nice site, you know after 4 years of studies I guess I have to admit I was wrong about this. Thanks for opening my eyes!
