    Here's the post on craigs:


    I have a 1.5 yr old macbook pro 15", 2.4ghz, 160gb hd, 2 gb ram... The video card burned out.. everything else is great...

    If I buy this for cheap, can I possibly head to an Apple store, and get it repaired for free?

    You certainly can try the Apple store, but if you are selling this, it needs to go into the Marketplace forum.
