My Macbook Pro (Late 2011, 15) is verging on failure for the second time currently, it went in for an entire logic board replacement due to the acknowledged graphics fault about a year and a half ago however this appears to have returned and it is failing to wake up from sleep/boot until resetting PRAM. I can tell its the same issue as when it fails to wake/boot it either has the red lines across the screen or ramps up the fans to 100% (or both at the same time).

My question is is there anything I can do now? I guess it isn't worth the trip to the Apple Store as they only gave me a 1 year warranty on the the first repair. I've found a guide online on how to disable the ATI card entirely and ensure it only boots off of the Intel onboard but wondered if anyone has shared my problem and found any success with either of these options?

Many thanks.
