If you are in California, Apple has to repair the MacBook Pro. Maybe a California resident in the forum could take it in for you. The problem with those NVIDIA 8600M systems seems to be they will fail eventually. Apple should have issues a recall and had NVIDIA foot the bill (NVIDIA did reimburse repair costs for systems that failed in the extended warranty period).
But won't the serial number give it away that it's a Pennsylvania MBP?
I wouldn't think so, because if you give the system to someone who happens to live in California, they should be covered by service terms. You'd still have to pay most likely. I doubt Apple will give you the free repair. $310 plus shipping to and from, I'd save my money and get a new computer. $400 into a dog isn't worth it, in my opinion.
