Now some models may have faulty chips. Apple eventually admitted afterwards, that three MacBook Pro models manufactured between May 2007 and September 2008, including the 15-inch, 17-inch and Early 2008, may have faulty chips.

Though they enunciated it was not at fault in a note placed on its MacBook Pro Web site. Nvidia told Apple that Mac computers with the graphics processors were not affected.

Only after Apple’s own investigation, they decided few MacBook Pro computers with the GeForce processors were affected. If the Nvidia graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within two years of purchase, a repair will be free, even out of warranty. Bring them to an Apple sales outlet. Customers who paid for repairs, will get a refund.
