These new "anti-glare" displays have nothing on the matte! I just really like my matte screen, and cannot believe they don't make them any more. as you see, just about everything in my laptop has been changed.

Oh, and my bluetooth module has been changed a long time ago, to allow AirDrop and Handover to work. Everything is within normal ranges during various workloads! I have also swapped out my DVD Superdrive with my original 750GB 5200RPM HDD, replacing the main drive with a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro. Actually super, because of all the upgrades! I have installed iStat Menus and have been monitoring my temperatures. So over a week later, my laptop has been running completely fine. Both of these ways seemed a bit barbaric and unclean to me, so I just left the two controllers be figured they would have the screw mounts if they needed the brackets, but they don't. Another person reported superglueing the heat sink directly to the controller. I've read that one guy butchered his old board and superglued the screw mounts onto the new board. The only other difference is that the new boards do not have the small heat sinks over the USB controller and one other controller (not sure what they are). The display cable was a tight fit, but working carefully and with a gentle yet firm hand, I was able to fit it into the logic board port. I purchased a mid 2012 non-retina logic board (without the heat sink → reused my original one) and installed it successfully, upgrading my USB ports, Thunderbolt port, CPU, and GPU. I have an early 2011 model 15" MBP with a matte screen.
What gives me the right to say I know? Well, I just did it last week! I would be interested to see what Louis thinks of this resolution path.I see a lot of mixed or unclear answers here from people who claim to know what they are saying. If it succeeds, then you can request a refund from Apple. Then keep a watch out on the results of the law suit. That failing, I would request a "Flat Rate repair from them and send it in for a Depot Repair (total time 4 days), if you do not live near an Apple retail store.
Ask for a "Warranty Exception", Apple knows they are facing a law suit and may just fix it for you.

If you feel you have a failed board, I would contact Apple first and see if they will repair it for free (if nothing else, have the request on record). I do have a stack of the older machine with failed boards but there are many, many others that are still running just fine. Just as the earlier nVidia 8600 GPU had a class action law suit, not all of them failed. Apple, as of mid-September 2014, refuses to comment on the issue. The firm is also investigating similar cases across the United States. The lawsuit will cover residents residing in both California and Florida who have purchased a 2011 MacBook Pro notebook with an AMD graphics card. On October 28 2014, the firm announced that it has filed a class-action lawsuit in a California federal court against Apple. From Wiki: n August 2014 the law firm Whitfield Bryson & Mason LLP had begun investigating the problem to determine if any legal claim exists.
