I'm on my 3rd logic board with my early-2011 15". To Apple's credit they covered it every time. I'm confused though.. does this news mean if it happens again, they'll cover it? And if so, for how much longer?
Apple stores stop stocking parts and offering any support 5 years after the model date. After that the only thing they will do is offer to clean your screen. If they have parts you can still mail it into Apple, or else you can look for parts at a third-party supplier, but that's about it. Not entirely clear what will happen in this case.
