I wasn't convinced after doing a lot of online research on this. Brought it to my local repair shop, (non-authorised repair shop), in the South of Ireland where I live and they said, yes, it's a graphics issue and subsequently fixed it for €190. I rang apple to explain that it was misdiagnosed and that I believed that apple repair were pulling a fast one on me and trying to get money from me by hopefully buying a new computer and they should cover the cost. They wouldn't accept this and said I should have got a second opinion from another authorised repair shop. Like I have the time to be traipsing around this island to get opinions for apple's convenience? Terrible support! Folks, 'always' get a second opinion! (Ps. I'm on my girlfriend's macbook writing this - my graphics have gone belly-up again! Bummer!

I live in Uganda, East Africa where there are no apple stores just agents who have to get advice from another dealership overseas, i cant afford a new one right now. Mr. Apple Genius at white City please advice because its like my right hand has been cut off.
