GeForce 8600M GT: Apple also got notebooks from the faulty series

During the summer, it became clear that the casing of some mobile GeForce graphics controllers is simply too weak in the long term against thermal effects, which ultimately leads to its "death".

In July of this year, NVIDIA informed its partners and consumers of the unfortunate fact that some mobile GeForce graphics controllers may be short-lived due to a material defect. At that time, the Santa Clara company informed Apple that MacBooks were not involved in the case. As it turned out, this statement is not true in this form, because the GeForce 15M GT graphics controller of the 2,4 (2,2/17 GHz) and 2,4 inch (8600 GHz) MacBook Pro computers also suffers from this "disease". . With notebooks manufactured between May 2007 and September 2008, users may experience graphic errors (distorted image or none at all) — Apple will, of course, bear the costs of the repair.
