A link to NVIDIA settlement was clearly validated that my MBP model (verified also by typing in the serial number) was one of the defective products, which is eligible for component or device replacement (yay!). Precisely, this is a known issue to Apple, re the defective of NVIDIA GeForce 8600 issue fixed to the late 2007 to early 2008 MBPs. To my surprise, there are so many victims cried over their MBP! Same product like mine, same symptoms like mine, and same solution from their technicians. In hope for helping me out of despair, a good friend of mine searched for information on similar cases over the net. A pro-item and yet, at a relatively young in age! My most trusted Apple MacBook Pro! Notably much more expensive compare to other brands. Two days after being diagnosed, the technician, smilingly and politely, reported that my logic board was damaged, and if I want it to get repaired, a minimum of US$532 will be needed to fix the problem. I pray to God nothing serious was happening with it, for it’s only being used for less than 3 years! So the next day I submitted my MBP to an Apple Authorized Service in my city, in Jakarta. My art, my thought, my soul, they were all together with it. For I’ve been faithful with it for less than 3 good years, devotedly work my art with it. The dear thing was the most valuable belonging of mine. Yet no chime, no video, no keyboard light, none could be seen on the monitor. The poor thing was definitely on, I could hear the drive was still functioning, there was the sound of fan, and the light on LED button is still blinking. One product that I bought in early 2008 with my hard-earned money, a MacBook Pro 15-inch, was since the day after Christmas experienced this symptom many called ‘Black Screen of Death’. But today, somehow I’m not so sure anymore. It looked really good and very easy to use.
