But when they gave it to me they just said "here ya go, have a nice day" no charges no nothing, just a brand new logic board, trackpad and battery. I was ready to go back into the store and to go to war on those poor people. I also mentioned the trackpad was broken and the battery was useless.ģ days later I had an email with an invoice for over £1k worth of parts and labour.

Told them I bought this machine for a great deal of money and it has never ever ever worked the way it should and was not leaving until someone took a look at it. They tried to claim it wasn't at fault, I got pretty ranty in the store. They tried to run some test on it which proved whether my comp fell under this issue or not but you cannot run a test on a comp when you can't see the screen.

I had the same issue and took it to apple to try and claim it should be repaired under this issue: This is the most updated version of the tutorial and I will try to make future adjustments if necessary. Also, if you want to update or reinstall MacOS, just follow the instructions that are also included in the image above. The good thing about this though is that you are guaranteed to not experience any colored artifacts, distorted colors, or kernel panics that prevent the computer from turning on when you use it. Also, we are not bringing the dedicated graphics card back to life, but instead we are programming the computer to use integrated graphics. If the hard drive's operating system on your dead mac is el Capitan or lower, I would recommend taking the hard drive out, installing Sierra or up on it from another mac, and then put it back in your laptop and then start the tutorial. This solution requires that the dead mac has MacOS Sierra and up installed as the operating system. Just follow starting on step 1 and you should be fine.) That's just because this guide is being taken out of context. (The paragraph at the beginning of the tutorial might seem confusing. Not only is it completely software orientated, but it is permanent too! Just follow the imgur link below from start to finish, and I really hope that the results work out for you! This solution does not require taking out any parts or opening up the computer. Also no, this does not require baking your laptop in the oven and having the best five minutes of your life until it breaks again.

So, after doing approximately two months of research from multiple forums, Reddit posts, and videos, I have compiled all of the information I have learned together in order to make the most straight forward guide to fixing your laptop. I was having the infamous GPU failure problems on my 2011 machine, and I stayed as persistent as possible in finding the answer.
