cut story short, brought apple store repair , said covered warranty.

ended replacing logic board. replacing 1 tb hybrid drive standard sata 500gb hd, , 16gb ram 8gb ram. without costs on part. (which awesome!)

when asked genius admin, said 16gb causes issues in system. , recommend 8gb. why? worked fine me. hd, notes says bad sector that's why replaced it. when got home put hybrid disk (they returned old hd , ram) in enclosure , run utility disk tests on it, fine.

guess questions is, hd damaged? , 16gb ram causes problems macbook pro 2011?
