Hello,
I have a late 2011 15” MacBook pro, and not long ago, the wonderful GPU which was known to fail, seems to have done so. Now I’m still not a 100% sure.
When I turn the computer on, I hear the optical drive, then the power seems to cut out. Then it normally restarts and plays a delayed boot chime. The computer seems to boot, but I am stuck with a black screen, no output to an external display, no pictures appearing without back light, nothing.
Now I’m certain this is the discreet GPU, but I would still like to use this computer.
Other GPU fails seems to still output a display but this one doesn’t, does this mean the integrated Intel 3000 GPU failed as well? How can I fix this?
I have attached a photo of the back light on (probably means its on lock screen) but no display.
