This happened to my out-of-warranty 2012 retina MBP last spring. Apple replaced everything for free.

Thanks for posting this. My MacBook Pro is among the models affected. Mine isn’t experiencing any issues, other than general sluggishness and the “beach ball of death” far too much. Don’t suppose I could bring it in under this “recall” of sorts and have it looked over?

About 1-1/2 years ago I took my son-in-law’s MacBook Pro into Apple for service. The screen was totally dark. Even though it was well beyond warranty being a couple years old, they fixed it free of charge. It was a bad graphics card, and they were offering to fix them for free by replacing the graphics card. Great customer service.

"Any reference to the "Cult of Apple" is intended to include all Apple users." Actually, it's just you. Days after our last pleasant tête-à-tête, I have noticed a ridiculous number of Apple posts on this mainly political forum. Then I noticed it's mostly you.
So I looked back at your posting history. You're a full-bred cultist. Four to five pages back, and all of your posts are for Apple. ALL of them. (Except for one brief foray into a Samsung bashing thread.) And your posts aren't short. It's all you do. All day. Every day. It's a sickness. At least Star Traveler comments on other threads of interest, like he's not totally obsessed with Apple. For that, he gets respect.
You on the other hand...
Shouldn't you take your obsession to an appropriately themed forum? Or do your Apple overlords pay you to push Apple propaganda here and on other forums? This is starting to look suspiciously like a paid social marketer...
Busted.

I appreciate the ping from Swordmaker. Was able to let my daughter know her old computer can be fixed. Sounds like you have issues. If you don't like the thread, just ignore it. By posting on it you reveal your intentions are both insipid and insidious.
I suppose you are the judge of everything non-political here. Does that include the garden, prep, financial and WWII threads to name a few?

Thanks for the ping. I see at least one FUD Packer has arrived.

When does this program sunset?
To: PA Engineer
No no - one of the reasons I enjoy FreeRepublic is that I get exposed to a variety of stuff. I like that.
But think about it: all the guy does is post on Apple topics. That’s it. Period. And it’s not short posts. And if you say anything contrary to his line about Apple, he goes ballistic, posting 3,000 word essays in response and drawing in others to the argument.
It’s either an unhealthy, cult-like obsession, or he’s being paid to be a social marketer. If it’s the latter, I’d prefer NOT to have paid social marketers on this forum - how about you?
Of course, I don’t RUN the forum, but I’ve been a member for 15 years. When something this suspect pops up, you have to wonder if we’ve been infiltrated by a social marketer who is here to push a product.
That’s all.

There are over 500 FReepers on the Mac ping list that are interested and I’m sure most of us donate to keep FR up and running

For some Applephobics just one Apple post is one too many.
