Logicboard and or graphics card need to be
replaced. Apple gaphics card recall failed for a free upgrade. The
laptop starts up. The video & keyboard are dead. The Hard Drive
and fan are working. The USB has power. The sleep light blinks
rapidly when the lid is almost closed. I have read online that many
other have this same problem. I am hoping someone out there knows
about this issue and has a repair fix for me.As I took it to
Techified and they said $1,500 to repair. No thanks.
