How to fix 2011 15'' Macbook pro GPU problem

[@CrazyWillTechShow]

Hey guy a did a frequently asked questions video kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6TOcpqOaJhjhNE

[@Christian-dg9qt]

how was the quality of the integrated gpu?

[@stalekristiansen2942]

I went through the steps, but it just keeps freezing and shut's down😑

[@scutched]

@@Christian-dg9qt Mine seemed to work fine. There was a slower GPU artifact every once in a while, but I played a 1080p you tube video and it looked and moved fine. For non-gaming stuff it didn't seem much different.

[@MarcCardwell]

I’m on high sierra, is there a definitive list of steps for that?

Hi, did you notice it a little slow? Or to you it's the same speed?

[@UndergroundBhangra]

I paid $2500 for my 15’ back in 2011, $700 in useless repairs, battery change, hard drive changes, over the years....Now today, May 11, 2020...Brother, your one simple video brought my Macbook to Life...this method still works.. I cannot thank you enough..

[@CrazyWillTechShow]

That great!

[@codesurf]

So I thought I'd dig up my original 2011 17 inch Macbook Pro which is older than the one fixed 2 days ago so I can try to fix it with your solution. It has OSx 10.9.5 Mavericks. The csrutil cmd is not recognized after using Single User Mode & Terminal while in Recovery Mode. So I decided to go onto the next steps since I got nothing to lose. Well lo and behold. This fixed the bad GPU/display issue and the display is behaving normally even though I could not use the csrutil cmd. I am so happy I found your video!!! Thank you once again for sharing your detailed solution which has given new life to 2 Macbook Pro's both over 12 years old. Again, you are a genius!!!

[@robferries411]

It lives!!! Followed your video having never entered a line of code in my life, and brought my computer back from the 6th layer of damnation. The idea of being in quarantie with no computer is terrifying. You have given me a liferaft to survive on. Thank you!!!

[@CrazyWillTechShow]

That Great! Glad you took the challenge on.

[@MadFCat]

Thank you, my brother! You’ve just saved my life. And it’s actually this way. You don’t know how important this is at the moment. You and the guy that wrote the article are the best. I’m so grateful to live at the same time as you. Love you, my brother!

[@MadFCat]

Oh, and btw I had to use cmd+r for the recovery mode. Shift+cmd+r lead me to the internet recovery. I have MacBook Pro late 2011, El Capitan 10.11.6

[@matthewlong5109]

You are amazing! I took the MBP to my local repairer, they said bin it and buy a new one. Gave this a go - works a treat. The internet needs more people like you!

[@Nintendelaide]

Hi, just about to follow this guide but wondered if this method last long? I heard you may need to repeat to reset the SMC from time to time, is that the case for you? Thanks

[@ScouserMandible]

THIS MAN IS MY HERO. AFTER A WHOLE DAY TRYING TO FIX MY MACBOOK, THIS GUY HAS SORTED IT OUT! ENDLESS BOUNDLESS LOVE MY FRIEND XXX

[@mathieup.5665]

Same for me ! Merci Beaucoup !!

[@codesurf]

I found another youtube video to fix my 17 inch Macbook pro 2011 but could not complete the instructions due to my machine rendered a READ-ONLY DISK. Your solution fixed my machine just now. I haven't been able to use it for 429 days!!!! You sir, are a genius and I thank you very much!!!

[@alishagrace]

This is the second time I've had to watch this video to fix a MacBook Pro I have with this same issue. I accidentally had allowed an update to the OS so I had to come back here. I'm so glad I made sure to like and save this video so I could find it again because I love how easy it is to follow your video. It makes this process less painful. So thank you!

[@sonnoioso]

What a Legend you are Will! Went to Apple store, waited over an hour just to be told the GPU failed and I had little if no hope to fix the machine, most definitely not by them. Here I am watching your video, going step by step and bringing my beloved computer back to life. Immensely grateful, thanks for the fun and clear explanation 😎

[@CrazyWillTechShow]

Been there more than I would like to say. When it comes to computers you’re on your own or you got KZbin and google 😁

[@shaniyaelvoria]

Which method worked for you?

[@jtsquid]

I can't thank you enough! I just fixed two 2012 17" macbooks using this method. I have to add that it took me several tries but after I understood the logic and got the computers to actually disable csrutil and successfully move the AMD extensions, and then reset the nvram using the code...voila! I also have to say that I have been reflowing the logic boards successfully for the last year, several times each. Always only temporary. Also, I just took them both to the repair shop and they analyzed them to see if they could fix... one denied outright, "we are unable to fix" and the other went through "rigorous testing"... not sure what that means. I brought it home and it worked and then a week goes by and now it won't boot! Which brought me to doing further research and to this video. I'm now looking at two working laptops!! Yes!! Thank you!!

[@New777World]

After following this tutorial are any of your macbook getting really hot 🔥? The person who made this video said it does get hot with one graphic card towards the enf of the video! So arr experience this with yours? Like above 110-135

[@jtsquid]

Isaac mondragon yes but I use Mac fans control app which takes care of it.

[@blackadder1st]

Still as relevant in 2021. Worked on my early 2011 17" MBP running High Sierra. Thank you so much for this clear to follow video! Saved my life!!

[@gladeye27]

THANK YOU!!! I had the same problem with my 2011 MacBook Pro. I took it to an authorized Apple repair shop and they replaced the graphics card for $450. I didn’t use my MacBook for a few weeks (should have). When I started using it more frequently I started having the same exact problem again and unfortunately I was past the repair warranty. My boot loop had a purple Apple logo with low resolution, pixilated graphics. I followed all of your steps here and I’m back to a working computer again!!! Seriously can’t thank you enough for your video and this solution, it’s NOWHERE to be found online! I’m going to forward this video to the repair shop so they can learn how to properly fix this problem.

[@BeeTreeGuy]

Dude, This video was OUTSTANDING!!! My Macbook Pro sat unused for over a year because I couldn't get it to boot up and I thought it was done until I found this video. THANKS SO MUCH!!

[@critread]

It's 2020, and this worked!! Thank you!!!

[@BlenKingzly]

THANK YOU for the fix, i was pulling my hair out all day searching for solutions, good vibes!

[@CrazyWillTechShow]

Been there my friend. Very happy it worked.

[@coolc5150]

Update to last comment: I simply went through the steps again. Although it took over an hour to reach the utility, it ended up working in the end. Thanks and I will pay it forward.

[@MarkWesley]

2022 here... THANK YOU AGAIN. Your video still got my 2011 MBP back up and running. I left a comment thanking you back in 2020 for my success in following along and fixing the MBP. It worked fine for about 1.5 years until I did a software update 4 - 5 months ago. I forgot I did this fix and the software update brought back the crappy graphics and endless reboot loop. CHEERS AGAIN!

[@huskies815]

Holy cow! I can’t believe it! It worked! I guess I’ve been fortunate that up to two months ago, my 10 year old early 2011 MPB did not suffer the GPU failure. But it finally happened, and I was pretty much resigned to the fact that I’d be shelling out $$$$ for a new laptop. While I had backed up many of my files, there were some that I hadn’t, and I thought they were lost for good. Thank you Crazy Will! You’ve bought me some time to backup the rest of my files and, with some luck, continue using my MPB, which I still really like.

[@PrinceOfPersia.1]

Hey will, thanks for the video which has helped me fix my MacBook before, however, this issue came back and this time I can not complete the NVRAM reset! I can see that the laptop is on and can hear the fan running but no screen so can’t see to tell if the next steps are going correctly. I have the same MacBook Pro late 2011, appreciate your thoughts.

Once my usb was setup i booted into my laptop holding alt(option) key and booted into usb... Then from top i selected utilites and selected terminal and turned off csrutil that way...

Thank you so much guys for this. It really saved me! Just to note for people that are still on Mavericks Os X that the command csrutil disable and enable is not necessary. When I was writing it, I was receiving the usual notification that the command does not exist when in recovery mode. However I tried csrutil disable; reboot and it rebooted while I don't think the command scrutil worked and then I moved the files as shown in the tutorial. Maybe Mavericks doesn't have this kind of security.

This fix worked great for me one year ago! However, I accidentally pressed OK when I was given a reminder to update this evening. Well, now I can’t get back in my computer and this fix won’t work anymore. Thanks for the extra one year on this machine!

I have a 17” mbp as well. How long does this fix last? My Mac kick the bucket the other night 😢

LOL so true. Thanks!

[@SquidgytheGreat]

Awesome seems to be working for me! What is the consequence of disabling this may I ask? Does it limit the machine capability?

[@CrazyWillTechShow]

Machine runs really slow, some software doesn't worksoftware doesn't work, and no external monitors.

[@SquidgytheGreat]

@@CrazyWillTechShow thanks for this - I assume this is also irreversible? I'm just happy its working again
