NVIDIA Class Action Lawsuit
In case you did not know, there is a class action lawsuit going against the makers of the NVIDIA chip that was installed in certain MacBook Pro's and some Windows laptops. If you did not get an E mail from them, this is the header.
If you purchased certain models of notebook computers containing an NVIDIA graphics processing unit or media and communications processor, you could be entitled to benefits under a class action settlement. Here is the link: http://www.NVIDIASettlement.com/ You have to register your E mail address by a certain time to be included. It covers MacBook Pro's 15" and 17" bought between May '07 and Sept '08. If they accept the settlement and you had repairs done to correct video issues they will refund you; or if you did not have any repairs yet, they will pay to replace the NVIDIA components. My computer is in the range. One of the things my Mac does is ONLY on the HP list. It fails to detect the wireless network when I open the lid after it has been closed...all the time.I always have to go and manually sign in. And forget it when I go somewhere and try sign in to their network, even with the password and network name. I wonder if Mac's can randomly be doing this also, related to the problems with these NVIDIA components? I am not having video issues but for sure I signed up so I can get the latest components. This is the list of problems. I have formatted this differently....you should go to the link to see for yourself. Symptom Class Computer Models Covered by the Settlement Agreement Distorted or scrambled video on the notebook computer screen All No video on the notebook computer screen even when the notebook computer is on All Random characters, lines or garbled images on the notebook computer screen Dell, Hewlett-Packard Intermittent video issues Dell, Hewlett-Packard Failure to detect the wireless adaptor or Failure to detect the wireless network Hewlett-Packard systems only. I will post this at the Windows forum also.
