How can i change my macbook graphic card?

my mac book pro with sn:w8827949yjx, was bought and registed at 2008/7/30, recently it can not start up, checked wigh genius bar was told the grapic card was failed has to be change the whole main board. I was also informed the graphic card was problem since apple factory installed into it and was infromed by apple web page. it can be changed within 4 years after registed but mine was 22 days over time.
i think it was totally unfair since i was never been informed by this but i was informed for apple new product information from my mail box but this information.
hopefully some one from apple who can read this can  help me solve this matter.

No one from Apple here - just us users. I'd plead my case to an Apple manager since you're only 22 days past the 'due date' of getting the free logic board replacement. They may make an exception. If not, ask for the Flat Rate Repair pricing, at least.

  • How can I change my internal airport card from G to N ???

    I just want to know how can I change my internal airport card from G to N and how much that cost ?

    The description of your machine (2 ghz MacBook) can describe maybe three different generations of the original polycarbonate MacBook.
    If your machine is a Core 2 Duo MacBook that came out before the late 2007 models - $2.49 Canadian. It's all done in software, and won't work on the Core Duo models. The equivalent enabling software also comes on a disc if you get the latest 802.11n Apple AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express base stations.

    Before you buy, you can check to see if your machine already has it.

  • How can i change my macbook pro keyboard buttom english to arabic

    How can i change my macbook pro keyboard buttom english to arabic

    Apple does make and sell MacBook Pros with Arabic keyboards but, as far as I know, they're only sold in the Arabic market. You may be able to special order one: I don't know. You may even be able to order the keyboard only online or at your local Apple Store and have your English keyboard replaced. Again, I don't know.
    The best thing to do, if you're in the US, is to call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Tell them what you need and see how they might go about fulfilling your needs.
    Good luck,

  • How can I test my discrete graphics card in an MBP Retina?

    How can I test the hardware on the discrete Nvidia grpahics card in my late 2012 MBP Retina? 
    I've had a *lot* of problems with it which I won't repeat here but the latest fun thing it's doing is crashing and requiring a hard reset any time *anything* attempts to access the discrete graphics card.  This includes but is not limited to:
    *Opening system profiler and clicking on Graphics (it displays a blank screen)
    *Running a 3D graphics benchmark
    *Running intensive mathematical calculations on the GPU
    *Connecting to an external monitor with the thunderbolt port and using the computer for a short period of
    None of these things actually work and after unsuccessfully attempting any of them the computer becomes very unstable shortly there after and usually crashes and requires hard reset.  One time I got a crash report that said something about GPU panic. 
    Any recommendations?  I get the sense that the apple hardware test is not doing a thoroough test of the GPU if at all.
    Thanks.

    If they add OSX support for this product and it comes in at a reasonable price point, it could be an attractive solution.

    Also, there are products from other companies that allow connection to PCIe cards through thunderbolt.  These two are geared more towards professional use (Audio/Video I/O cards).

  • How can I make sure my graphics card is dead?

    After having Mavericks issues I did a clean install from Snow Leopard to Mavericks.
    Installed all the apps and while using safari the screen froze and looked like this
    http://blog.irrashai.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dsc00313.jpg
    I've been reading up on Nvidia 8800 GT with Mavericks and didn't know I had to update the drivers. I've accepted the fact that I most likely will need a new card but I just make sure. After the first crash it booted up and I was about to email myself a copy of the crash report but it froze again. Now my Machine won't boot at all.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    The screen shot you posted says MacBook Pro across the bottom. If that was not the system you have, a statement to that effect would have been helpful.
    Users have had nothing but trouble form the 8800GT, and there are numerous recipes online for removing plastic parts and baking in your home oven to re-flow the solder and get some more life out of it.

  • Father's macbook now mine. How can I change name, admin, etc without losing apps and programs?

    Hello.
    My father bought a Macbook Pro 15'  retina 8Gb ram 256Gb SSD about 2 months ago.
    He set it up, bought many apps and programs but eventually got bored of it and gave it to me.
    He is not a Mac enthusiast and thought he should give it a try but he didn't stick to it.
    I'm not a Mac enthusiast either, but a good notebook is an ok present so I took it.
    I installed some programs and stuff, tried to learn how it works (I have no idea, I was always using windows), and I think I like it.
    However, the MacBook has my father's name, my father is the admin, and all the apps programs etc the he and I bought and installed are in his account.
    I have his password though. That's how I've been using it the whole time.
    How can I change the MacBook to make it "my own"?
    I have an apple ID cause I have an iPhone etc but I'm sure just changing that under the admin page won't be enough.
    Will I lose the apps my father bought?
    Will I have to reinstall all the programs that I installed while I was using the MacBook? For example will photoshop and capture nx be deleted as if I was formatting a pc and I will have to install them again?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    PS. MacBook is now running Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 and I want to upgrade.
    But first I want to make myself the "owner" to start getting things in the right order.
