Mac Book Pro 17 '' end 2011 replacement GPU:

Hey guys.

So this year my fried GPU Mac, after research, I realized that it was a common problem with this model of Mac logic board has been replaced for free by Apple.

I'll be back on my Mac and noticed it was extremely slow during boot or the rendering of images. It also more heat, for example when writing it was warm so it's on my lap...

In Final Cut, I saw that the GPU use was being a bottleneck in my system report and 512 megabytes, it shows that I still have the same old GPU that fried.

So in big sound using the graphics card Intel integrated!

Then I went to my Apple Mac and they ran Diagnostics from the system and stated that it has no errors 'graphical '.

* Sigh *.

So now what?...

I have a few friends who had the same GPU problems but once replaced, it was just beautiful!

Wrong, try to send a test Cinebench to show the decongestion.

Thanks in advance!<>

You would have the same graphics card which is welded on the logic board. Have you run final cut pro to the apple store to try to reproduce the problem. 512 MB is only 1/2 the use of your GPU. I don't think that is bad. Heat comes from the high utilization of the processor more than the graphics card. Or the fans not coming or running to slow down. Where is fan problems, you can try a SMC reset.   https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201295 if you have something using a lot of CPU, you can go to the folder utilities and activity open monitor/cpu/all this process. Who will let you know if a process uses high CPU. It is not recommended to use your laptop by holding down on your lap or on a blanket or something that does not dissipate the heat.

  • By the end of 2011 Mac Book pro 15 inch battery indicating zero

    I have a 2011 Mac Book Pro (end) retina which really is not used as a laptop display. (always connected)

    Just today, he showed zero percentage battery icon.

    I have reset the SMC and that did not help

    Should I try to disconnect the battery to see if it would help

    Is the battery shot just like that?

    Thanks for the help

    In addition, if the battery needs to be replaced can I do it myself?

    Hello

    The battery may be necessary replacement.

    Check the number of maximum cycle. Instructions here > Determining battery cycle count for Mac notebooks

    http://www.Apple.com/batteries/service-and-recycling/

    You can replace the battery yourself > https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Unibody+Late+2011+Battery+Repla cement/7511

    But if you have never done this before, I recommend you take your Mac to an Apple Store. You can make a reservation in advance at a Genius Bar.

  • Mac Book Pro end of 2011 up to 16 GB of RAM?

    Dear community

    my Mac Book Pro 15 "with 2, 5 GHz Intel Core I7, defined as 'late 2011' need for an upgrade of RAM of 4 GB real to something better.

    Check the plug on the Apple support forum seems my laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB and is fine for me.

    But I also went to the local dealer in Italy and told me that I can spend with module 2 * 8Gb to 16Gb.

    It is true, or go up to 8 GB to be sure.

    Thanks for your time,

    Max

    Quite true, a MBP late 2011 will support up to 16 GB of RAM.  The best sources of RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.

    I have 16 GB of RAM installed in my 2011 Mbps, and both executed without flaws.

    Anyone who says that the 2011 MBP can not use more than 8 GB of RAM, does so by ignorance.

    Ciao.

  • My Mac Book Pro 2011 becomes slow.

    My external hard drive is full, and now my Mac Book Pro is slowing down. Is it possible to clean the things that I didn't need the external hard drive so I can continue to use it or is there a way to dump data I need not in the book of Mac to speed it up. I do not know which uses all the space so don't know what to look for.

    If you use a HARD drive then it is probably your problem. You have an older system, but upgraded to a solid drive (which allows a flash storage) can have a lot faster write speeds. What version of Mac OS X are you using?

  • Mac Book Pro El Capitan won't start

    End of 2011 Mac Book Pro with OS X 10.11.2 and 500 GB SSD locked when you change an image in Lightroom 6.  Display got lines in there, then moved to the right until all the images in all programs were packaging off the screen on the left and ending on the right.  I decided to quit Lightroom and it went in her check and the safeguard of this app.  At this point the computer locked up completely with the beachball forever.  I stopped with the start key and restarted.  Desktop came, but then locked up again.  No restart in any mode after that.  Computer goes the logo Apple on a white screen with the high CPU activity as evidenced by a cooling fan screaming.

    I have a backup recovery app on a USB key, but does not know how to use it. I also still have the original hard drive that could possibly be re-installed, but he showed signs of early failure.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you very much

    "" Im trying to install usb 10 32/64-bit windows on a mac book Pro of the retina, when I do the ' iso ' step it tells me that I can do only with windows 7 or higher "confused."

    I was wondering if changing my memory work, and if the limits of memory were increased
    A few years ago. I know that I can go up to 8g in total.

    MacTracker is generally successful installations of memory beyond the officially listed by Apple. For your MB Pro, they list the max as 8 GB.

    I'm sorry.

    What is the battery life expected to a new stack in a Mac Book Pro?  I am running OS X El Capitan10.11.3

    I just had my battery replaced, and today, I looked at that and I got 7 1/2 hours on a charge.  This doesn't seem much.

    Apple announced 8-9 hours on the 15 "MacBook Pro 2010. This is an extremely optimistic number in light, ideal operating conditions.

    Your 7.5 hours is fine.
