I don't understand why they didn't offer you the $310 flat rate depot repair. He got a new motherboard, battery and fans out of it. My brother just did this two weeks ago with his MBP which is the same as yours. Try going back to a different genius bar. That "we can't guarantee it" statement sounds bogus. I think all depot repairs have a 30 or 60 day warranty. Perhaps he meant that they can't give it a full 1 year warranty, which is always true.
