This is how Apple works, the focus is on their wallet and bottom line not what is fair to the user that gave them three thousand dollars. ![]() You have to murder it because they will sell you a GTFO and use ANY EXCUSE AT THEIR DISPOSAL to not cover you under the extended warranty program. I strongly suggest going the route of properly murdering your malfunctioning machine, then giving it to Apple to fix for free, then reselling it and using that money to buy a Retina. In this case you are spending $700 of your own money for a minor upgrade, which I do not think is a good idea at all. The only jerry rigging required here is trying to get the older LVDS cable to fit into the newer connector properly, this is a nightmare. You can fit an 820-3330 board in there, which comes with a next generation ivy bridge processor(upgrade from sandy bridge processor), a superior GPU that doesn't die for no reason, and a much cooler system with better battery life. You spend $2000 or $3000 for a top of the line product, you do not deserve to be stuck with a lemon piece of trash board just because Apple wants you to buy a new machine. Then the moment you get it back fixed, at no cost to you, you sell it and put that money towards a new machine. You run GPUtest and prime95 all day long until the GPU dies, then you take it to Apple for them to replace this board for free. ![]() No we do NOT pay to replace the board in this machine! This is a waste of money!
