New Mackbook Pro?

Not quite, but I did get apple to put a motherboard into my MBP. It was having some real problems with booting up and the screen flickering and after 3 visits to the “genius” bar they finally recognized that there was a problem. It was definitely hard to go without the computer for a week but it is now worth it. The computer feels more responsive (probably just b/c I have been using my old laptop), appears to boot fine, and more importantly works without issue on my external monitor.

Below is a video of what the video card would occasionally do when using any number of applications - it took me showing them that I had evidence that my laptop was broken stunting their standard “we can’t reproduce it” response to get any movement on the issue.

The part that is listed on the service details from apple is “605-1212 SVC,PCBA,MLB,2.4GHZ” - which after a quick search I realized it is indeed a new logic board.
