MacBook – ny way to expedite a MBP 2011 discrete GPU failure

gpuhardwaremacbook pro

I have an early 2011 MBP 15" with discrete AMD GPU. This is the same model that has the free repair/warrant described here: https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/

I've already had to replace the logic board twice because of graphics issues. Is there any way to expedite the failure of my current logic board to get a replacement before the free repair expires at the end of this month? It's already showing a small amount of artifacting after heavy use. I'm afraid that the Apple Geniuses won't repair unless it's a complete failure (like my previous two).

Thank you for the help!

bob gave you wrong information.

If you go to Apple's official page https://www.apple.com/sg/support/macbookpro-videoissues/ it says that

The program covers affected MacBook Pro models until December 31, 2016 or four years from its original date of sale, whichever provides longer coverage for you.

The longer would be until 2016 December for you.
