They replaced your defective design motherboard(whether it was Nvidia GPU or C9560) with ... another defective design motherboard, plus some shoe rubber to prop badly soldered parts(dead serious, Apple refurb outfit glues rubber to bga chips in order to wedge them against outer case because its easier/faster/cheaper than replacing bad solder).
>in the end I basically had a new laptop
build using same factory defective parts, with life expectancy of at most couple years IF they actually replaced GPU with new one, there were plenty cases of Apple refurb motherboard dying almost instantly leading even Apple technicians to suspect foul play http://advancedreworks.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-2692.ht...
