Video card failure

[Cory Cooper]

Hello and welcome.

Have you taken it to an Actual Apple Store and explained the situation? Apple has been known to honor the Repair Extension Programs just after their official expiration. I am not guaranteeing they will, but they may. It might be worth a try, especially if you contacted them directly via phone only 36 days out.

Thank you Cary.
Yes, i took it to an Apple service center and got a diagnostics done. Yep. Video failure. Again talked to support. Wrote to Tim Cook, got a call the next day from an executive. Asked for a week to study the issue and he did. But bottom line? Sorry, you need to get the part replaced by paying.
Am checking out cheaper options, if any, now.

Sorry to hear that things haven't changed.

At this point, I would look into buying a used/new iMac to replace it, rather than repairing it if you cannot find a cheaper option.

Wish we could do more for you.

Here's a cheaper option if you feel brave, you've got nothing to lose anyway.
