I contacted the outfit and they claimed it was fully tested and burned in etc., to send it back and they would look at it. It would not boot from the SSD and only booted once from the backup sata drive.
i found a repair service on e bay ($240)and sent it off to NY with great hopes ! They returned it within two weeks. Hello, i had the same problem with the GPU, at least it matched all of the known symptoms. Point is, some research on the class action lawsuit, and catching the flies with honey (I told the supervisor I'd send him a glowing review to his superior) led to a replaced logic board even though my early 2011 MBP was "vintage". That way if this GPU goes out I can put in the logic board while repairing the defective one with heat, thermal paste, or whatever the DIY repairs advise (there's a handful of them out there). I might buy an extra logic board just in case. I bought thermal paste to apply to my 2008 MBP (to prevent the heat issues) as well as in case of another repair for my 2011. He actually found a spare logic board and had it shipped to a local Apple Store. I asked to speak with a supervisor after they claimed they wouldn't be able to, spoke with the supervisor/specialist whom offered to comp a repair at an Apple authorized repair center. FWIW, in May or June this happened to me and so I called Apple expressing my being a loyal customer and wanting to keep it that way, if they'd be willing to honor the repair for my "vintage" MBP that would be an act of good faith on their part. I'm so sorry to hear about all of your issues. which one of the two is the problem? the built in one or the AMD Radeon HD 6770M? I don't know enough about this. I am now trying to find out if there is a way to get a used graphics card. (One thing that helped me was that I was using Lion and I had them upgrade to OS X. and restarts several times and only SOMETIMES actually boots up but freezes up when I try to open my Photo program. Right now if I do ControlOptionRP to boot up.it shows lines several times. because I have so many expensive programs such as Photo Shop on my computer I will lose them all. I think Apple should have replaced everyone's computer after the first replacement failed. I went to iCare in Chiang Mai Thailand and was told the graphics card is broken but that they cannot get the part from Singapore because it is over 5 years old. I agree, I actually have had to have my logic board replace 3 times!!! and now in October I had a screen panic with lines and I could no longer boot up.
