regarding recent apple repair extension program out gpus of (the main logic boards) following machines:
- macbook pro (15-inch, 2011)
- macbook pro (17-inch, 2011)
- macbook pro (15-inch, late 2011)
-macbook pro (17-inch, late 2011)
- macbook pro (retina, 15-inch, mid 2012)
- macbook pro (retina, 15-inch, 2013)
...i have couple of questions (for might know more and/or have insight):
1. notice "macbook pro (15-inch, mid 2012)" absent list of affected machines. why that? doesn't otherwise share same discrete gpu mid 2012 , 2013 15" retinas? issues crop machines down road? (beyond curiosity, have vested interest given own said machine).
2. assume failures between 2011 macbook pros , of aforementioned retina machines are, in essence, totally different given it's 2 different makes , brands of gpus going in 2 differently designed sets of notebook computers. pure coincidence or understanding wrong , sort of linked issue between 2 sets of machines?
3. i'm aware of issues happen on aforementioned , late 2011 macbook pros, sort of issues happen on mid 2012 , 2013 15" retinas? common? don't remember hearing machines prior announcement of repair extension program, hence curiosity.
i think general issue here on time, heat causing lead-free solder break down, used connect discrete gpu logic board. in turn causing graphical issues see. far know, macbook pros discrete gpus, regardless of brand, built way lead-free solder. therefore, macbook pros discrete gpus potentially vulnerable issue, extent.
i'm thinking macbook pros/gpus run cooler others, issue less apparent in models. haven't heard of being widespread issue retina macbook pros.
