Long version story ;-)[br]

My Macbook screen freezes. Sometimes minutes in use sometimes after an hour. I did ask this question a while in this forum and for a while it was working. I deleted almost every App, format the Disk, install antivirus and used Onyx to scan the system.[br]
[br]
Now i send it to a repair service (non Apple) and they tell me it is the graphic chip. Not sure it is 100% right or they just say it as may be is a common diagnostic. The repair service charge quite a lot for repairing the logic board and not guarantee is given the repair will be successful.

Hi people!
Thanks again for all your help with this issue.
I received the hard data cable and did change it yesterday. It is working without freezing now, so that could have been one of the main issues.
However i did notice since i changed the optical drive for a second hard drive that the metal texture of the bay was imprinted on the interior of the bottom case. That means that when flexing they did eventually came in contact. I guess metal with metal could be a source of freezing too, right? Just to be sure, could i put some insulating tape on it? Would any 3M electrical tape would work for that or is a special tape? I guess is just similar to the thinner black tape the bottom case has, right?

Hi people![br]
Short version story
I decided to ''change the Logic Board'' of my Macbook Pro mid 2012. I have found one in this place.
