I’ve successfully repaired a few iPhones and iPods in the past, but I realize a full logic board replacement would be much more advanced, so I don’t completely trust myself to do it right.Īny help would be SUPER appreciated! Thanks. I’m also not afraid to open it up and attempt the work myself, but I’d need some really good guidance.
Given that it happened 3 times, I think the likelihood is high it could fail again shortly after paying $$$ for a repair.ĭo you guys have any other general tips/insights about this particular 2011 model and its problems? Super-faulty GPUs and overheating were well-documented for the early 2011s (I believe there were even some lawsuits), but I’m wondering if anyone out there has successfully revived one and gotten 2-3 more years out of it. For example.ĭo any of you guys know of places / individuals that might be able to revive it more affordably?Īre there any unique mods or more reliable GPUs / Logic boards out there that could be used to help prevent the same issue from happening again? I feel like Apple’s components can’t be readily swapped like a lot of PC parts can, but maybe. That price range just seems stupid expensive to spend on an 8-year old laptop - but if that’s seriously the going rate, I’m wondering if I might have other options. And Local shops wanna charge around $500-$700 to put a used 2011 logic board in it for me. The hard truth about these GPU failures is that they supposedly require a full logic board replacement. It’s still a machine that I can put to good use, despite the having a newer MBP as my “daily driver.”
However I’m just not ready to give up on it. This is the third time for this machine - only now it’s obviously out of Apple Care and Apple won’t even work on it because they consider it “vintage.”
My beloved, 17-inch, early-2011 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,3) has crapped out once again due to a faulty GPU.
