THE APPLE LOGO ON THE LID ALSO LIGHTS UP WITH IT.Ģ: WHICH IS THE BEST SITE TO BUY LOGIC BOARD ON LINE FOR MY DEVICE. If your MacBook Pro is still covered, you can expect to pay 9 plus tax for your repair.

SOMETIMES WHEN I REMOVE THE CABLE FROM THE EXTERNAL MONITOR WITH THE LAPTOP STILL ON, THE MAC SCREEN LIGHTS ALL UP IN PINK WITH A 2CM WHITE HORIZONTAL BAND RUNNING ALL ACROSS THE LCD IN THE LOWER THIRD AND A SIMILAR SOMEWHAT OBLIQUE WHITE STROKE ON TOP OF THIS LINE, TO MY RIGHT PARTIALLY ON THE SCREEN. THE VIDEO CAMERA ON LCD IS ALSO WORKING ON EXTERNAL MONITOR. I AM USING THE MAC ON AN EXTERNAL MONITOR AND IT WORKS FINE. I STRAIGHTENED THE PINS AND HOOKED UP AS IS BUT THE LCD WENT BLACK AND DEAD. TWO PINS ON THE POWER PORT SIDE OF THE DISPLAY CABLE WERE BENT SOMEHOW AND WHEN I LOOKED USING HIGH MAGNIFICATION INTO THE PORT ON THE LOGIC BOARD INTO WHICH THE CABLE CONNECTS I FOUND ONE PIN LOOSE AND TWO BENT SOMEWHAT TOWARDS THE POWER PORT SIDE IE SAME SIDE AS THE BENT DISPLAY CABLE PINS. In the process somehow i think? i damaged the DISPLAY CABLE IN THE PROCESS ALONG WITH THE CONNECTOR ON THE LOGIC BOARD?. The logic board was clean however the key board had stains which i cleaned from inside after removing the logic board and underneath the keys after removing the keys individually. In the process of drying it and cleaning any residue i opened the system. What has me VERY confused is why would this work when the recall was for the discrete graphics chip? You'd think I would need to force my Mac to NOT use the discrete chip with GFXCardStatus.I spilled tea on my mac, its a 15 inch unibody with following specifications: 2.2 GHz intel core i 7, memory: 4GB 1333MHz DDR3, graphics: amd radeon hd 6750M 1024M. Forcing the MPB to use discrete graphics has appeared to help. I promptly ran GFXCardStatus and set it to Discrete Only and I appear to be running fine now.īeforehand, at most I could run the laptop for less than a minute and the screen would go black and I'd be forced to shut it down. I got curious after reading your post and plugged in external monitor to force the discreet card to run and it booted up. The second replacement seemed to work but now years later I've got the vertical lines again and booting problems that I saw with the beginning stages of the other logic board graphics chip failures. During the recall period I had the logic board replaced twice. I suppose I do need to be only running on integrated to run the Mac now.

To turn off the dual graphics capability of the GPU, install gfxCardStatus for Mac

I’ve saved about twenty 2011 15” MBP using this gem, it’s also free -) It uses a completely different GPU and will last you a good while into the foreseeable future.

You may need to do a slight modification to the LCD cable to get it to fit in the new board. These use a different chip and will work. If you have a 15 inch, I'd say get a 2012 board for it. You can replace the battery with easy contrary to the 2012 and up Retina. These machines are nice as far as serviceability. The heat involved in reballing will do the same thing that a $30 heatgun from home depot will do. This again will only last for a short amount of time. Heat will make the chip work for a short amount of time. Sellers on ebay that claim to replace the GPUs are more often than not heating the chip up with a heatgun. Most supposed "New" AMD chipsets are either rejects or reballed garbage, so while soldering a new chip to the board is not a problem, getting a good chip that can last and be reliable is. So with these, pretty much any chips we can get for them will not last very long.
