They did for macbooks pro on 2010 with exactly the same problem. take to a professional and tell what is need to do, this is kinda comon in hight demanind cpus, gaming, and so on).īut maybe not much patience as wait Apple made a recall. If someone is in a situation like me, know that this is kinda "basic" to solve, but you need patience and care (if you think you will be nervous. that was kinda scary due to a connector behind the logic board, that is so tight when I put it back, that I could not reach it with my fingers. just the logic board.īut take the computer mounted again, back to live. I did not took apart the DVD unit or the HD drive. But it your system stress the GPU, the sooner it will get hot and will lead to the defective image transmission, until you cannot even startup correctly, even on secure mode (shift on start up).ĭismount the machine was not that hard, it is a great piece of technology, just have care and tools.
So if you make a hardware check, there is nothing wrong with the logic board or GPU. That's is a very bad manufacturing error from Apple. And I'm using Photoshop, illustrator, safari, firefox, calculator, excel, notepad and torrent client. I have 67º on CPU and 53º on GPU at the present moment. I've applied the Arctic MX-4 (can I say brands here?) thermal compound on GPU and CPU and attached the heat sink back and mounted the notebook again. I've waited it cool down (1 hour is more than enought). I made up a mask with rought paper in order to centralize the heat over the square (3 x 3 cm) area of the GPU and kept about 10 minutes in hight mode with circular motions and 10 cm distance from the board. Than, I used a HAIR DRYER to sold the GPU again, like the tutorials on youtube for that. I've polished them without scratch but until shine. I separated the heat sink from the logic board, and cleaned up that thermo compound very sticked to the components (all gpu and cpu). I used the guide to complete tear down the macbook pro here on IFIXIT, and get my hands on the logic board. It is indeed a problem with the soldering between logic board and GPU.
