This program will end sometime in the future (I did see 4 years after date of purchase mentioned on the Apple site), but even if you don't qualify for a fee replacement the cost of replacing the logic board is only in the order of $USD300 - a lot cheaper than a replacement laptop! It turns out that there is a known issue with early 2011 Macbook Pro's displays and that Apple is going to replace the logic board for free. Macbook pro checkered display, safeboot works I would love this to be a purely software issue that I can fix by reloading El Capitan, but I am afraid the problem will be related to this question At other times I am forced to power off blindly and at those times it can take 2 or 3 hard reboots to clear the issue an get to a working login screen. Sometimes (if I am lucky) I can still see a mouse pointer and shutting down safari clears the issue. ![]()
