MacBook Pros with GeForce 8600M GT Hit by GPU Problem


Apple has confirmed that 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT video cards are affected by the recently reported GPU problem.

“If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within two years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty,” Apple says.

The company added it is issuing refunds to customers who may have paid for repairs related to this issue.

Symptoms of the graphics card problem are distorted or scrambled video on the computer screen, as well as absence of video on the computer screen (or external display) even though the computer is on.
