Hi from Italy. How to join class action from Europe, beyond signing the petition on change.org ? Cost for replacing Motherboard: 650€ Officially affiliated Apple Store; no reballing considered Cost for reballing: 150-200€ https://facebook/notes/2011-macbook-pro-and-discrete-graphics-card-issue/bga-reballing-companies-across-the-globe/509888712457919 Reballing includes replacing GPU + warranty [3 - 12 months] and include: - replace of GPU - speeding up fan from 4000 RPM to 6200 - 7000 RPM to keep card cooled down and avoid probem for melting in the future: (see in What exactly went haywire here? time/3545723/apple-macbook-lawsuit/) Which points are meant to be claimed by the action? a. subsitution of defected components / reconditioning of machine b. refound of costs beared at officially affiliated Apple Store c. refound of costs beared at third parties store d. refound of working days of inactivity (per type of jobs, maybe onetonline.org/ a useful tool ) e. refound for mortage cost or equivalent market value at net of depreciation cost About e) - Market Value of a machine macbook pro early 2011, i7 quad 2.0Gh: - on Apple Recycle plan: 0€ see: store.apple/it/browse/reuse_and_recycle - on Officially affiliated Apple Store: max 650€ (equivalent to cost of reparment) That is, a machine valuing 2K€ three years ago is not mortaged after only three years (liability). Also, there is the damage for being pushed to buy a new machine if used as working tool; equivalent machine is about 2.3K€, thus 3x The choice of buying a new machine is up to the customer, but both value of reparing the machine, 20K threads for reporting problem that even new motherboards will be affected by same risk (see the article in Time) descurage the repairing and also descourage sales for a reconditioned machined with problem actually solved, a solution currently available only by third parties (outside Apple ecosystem). Thank you.
