NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT replacement

The graphic NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT is known for being defective <http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377>.

Applecare now says that the repair extension is over.

Is it possible to find such cards and is the replacement not too difficult ?

All the best

I have recently seen repair services on eBay for the Nvidia issue at $90.00. I have not yet used this device, so I can't recommend it yet, but at that price, I intend to do so. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251028786360?ssP...

I don't know this for certain, but the graphic cards on most macs are actually on the board and not a separate card like in a Windows PC. So you may not be able to simply replace it.
