MacBook Pro owners experiencing video problems are eligible for a free fix from Apple as of Friday.</p><p>
Apple said a “small percentage” of MacBook Pros sold between February 2011 and December 2013 are experiencing issues with distorted video (or none at all) and out-of-the-blue system restarts. The problems affect 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pros produced in 2011 and 15-inch Retina MacBook Pros produced from mid–2012 to early 2013.</p><p>
If you’re experiencing any of the above issues, check to see if your MacBook Pro matches one of the models by using Apple’s “check your coverage” tool (https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do). Then back up your data, pack up your MacBook, and take the computer to an Apple Store or a repair center authorized by Apple. Apple outlined the repair process in further detail here (http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2886966/apple-offers-free-fixes-for-macbook-pros-with-video-problems.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
