Updated on failed MacBook Pro (A1226) Dead display but otherwise works

My dead MacBook isn't so dead. The display doesn't work but it does boot into snow leopard, there just isn't a display or external display. The volume buttons make the normal noise, I could eject a DVD, caps lock turns on and off. So, it does look like the infamous nvidia video failure.

This apparently is covered by a 3 year warranty when it's the nvidia chip. I'll visit the Apple Store and post an update on what happens.

UPDATE:

The 'genius' at the Apple Store bar plugged a USB drive into the MacBook and booted it. He then attached the drive to his laptop and pronounced it an NVidia defect which is a free repair. They took the MacBook and I just received via overnight Fedex the repaired MacBook Pro. Awesome service and great result. They even repaired my touch pad mouse button which didn't click that well anymore.

I think this [url=http://www.watchstore.cc/invicta-watches-c-394.html][b]Invicta Watch[/b][/url] is great. I really wasn't sure how it would feel once I put it on,product. I can't wait for the weather to cool down a bit so I take [url=http://www.watchstore.cc/invicta-watches-c-394.html][b]Invicta Watches[/b][/url] to my friends' place. Thank you!
