原文:
n update for people having screen corruption issues with their NVIDIA-equipped MacBook Pros: some good news.
Apple Store Sydney took my current-generation MacBook Pro with screen corruption, flashing video and ripples/tearing on scrolling in for investigation and possible repair.
They were able to reproduce the problem while booting off an external drive with a clean installation of Leopard, indicating that it is not a software problem (at least, not a corruption of my installation of OS X -- it could possibly still be a problem baked into OS X itself.)
The said they had had a number of MacBook Pros in with a similar problem -- four or five to date, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with every MacBook Pro they've shipped, they said.
They consulted with Apple Engineering in the US and were told that there is "no fix for this problem, either through hardware or software", which they said meant Engineering was still trying to figure out what exactly was the cause of it.
So, official company line was no repair possible. However, as a courtesy they swapped the logic board out anyway.
Since I picked it up on Tuesday, (it is now Friday night Sydney time) I haven't seen any of the problems. Videos now play back without flashing white blocks all over them, scrolling is fine in Safari and all other apps with no breaking up of the display, etc.
I am happy that after my six months of owning a faulty MacBook Pro it is now back to the condition it should be in when purchased -- I'm just sorry I put up with it for so long thinking it must have been a software problem.
Note, nothing at all has changed in my software config since taking it into the store. They simply swapped the logic board and that fixed the problem.
So if you are experiencing this problem, I strongly urge you to take your MacBook Pro back to Apple to be fixed. Even if some of you do not get the same courtesy I got in getting the logic board replaced without advice to do so from Apple Engineering, the rising numbers of repair requests for this problem may make Apple realise it's a bigger problem than they think it is.
NB. details of the NVIDIA chip on the new logic board:
GeForce 8600M GT:
Chipset Model: GeForce 8600M GT
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0407
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: 3212
大意:现在这个问题不是十分严重,悉尼的维修店的工程师对作者说至今也只有4至5台MacBook Pro发生过类似故障。由于全球波及范围不大,所以苹果官方没有也不准备采取补救措施(汗......),如果想让苹果重视的话,作者建议有显卡故障的话请到官方维修地点修理,故障数目越多,越引起重视。
