Recently I got a card in the mail saying if my laptop was not working to go here because mine was one of the ones that was sold with a defective GPU and NVIDIA chip. We bought it in 2007. It worked a while - and then spent more time in the shop than on any lap (we had extended warranties - I think extended warranties usually are dumb but in this instance we happened to get one).
How's your lap top working?
It affected HP, Dell and Apple notebooks.
Oh yeah ... HURRY - the deadline is 5 November 2010 if yours is one of the 'teethgirinding' laptops.
