In February 2010, Apple determined that a very small percentage of hard drives that were used in MacBook systems, sold between approximately May 2006 and December 2007, might fail under certain conditions.
MacBooks that were purchased in the date range listed above and showed a flashing question mark on the screen were eligible for a replacement, free of charge, by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The program covered affected MacBook models for 3 years from their original date of purchase or until August 15, 2010.
Apple completed this program on February 04, 2011.
