In other words, it's an unpublicized recall.

Just doing a quick Google search for "Apple Recall," it finds recalls on batteries, graphics cards, and logic boards on the first page including a recall on logic boards for Macbook Pros produced in the first quarter of 2006 (which I'm guessing is what yours is).

In other words, Apple sold you a defective product, failed to contact you about it, and because they replaced an acknowledged faulty part, they're "awesome" ... ?

No, if they were truly awesome, they would have told you about this about 3.5 years ago when they found out. Instead, they didn't contact you at all in hopes that, once your logic board died, you'd buy a new Mac and give them more money.

Apple wouldn't even replace my battery under warranty that died after 15 cycles (recharges) and flagged the serial number on my laptop, so when I sent it in through work, it got denied again. I had to wait until it was into Staples' extended warranty before I could get it replaced.

Apple has also heavily screwed me and my GF over on her iMac (in for warranty repairs 6 times in 2 years, still refuses to replace it) and her iPod Touch (stopped working after 3 months, wouldn't turn on, refused to fix or replace it. I was able to get it replaced at work, fortunately.)

Apple can eat my ass.
