One of the things I noticed right away is how hot this thing got, and the fans would go crazy, and occasionally the laptop would just shutdown on its own. It would just hang at the white screen forever. My first guess was that this was a problem with the booting process, and tried to repair it using the OS X recovery tools, but I couldn’t even get to the recovery screen.
I told him to give me the laptop and I would take a look at it. The laptop was just getting stuck at the Apple logo screen and eventually would halt at white screen. Unless these MacBook Pro laptops have a separate video card for the startup process, if it was a video card problem the initial startup screen shouldn’t come up at all, it should be all dark or weird color stripes painted on the screen, but after following up with him this wasn’t the case. I’m not a Mac guy, but I’ve been around computers enough to have my doubts that was a video card problem by looking at that picture. Supposedly he had brought in the laptop to the Apple store and was told the problem was the video card.
Is it now a paper weight or can I get anything for this anywhere? any mac guys know? It will cost me about $500/$600 to fix it, then it will be ok for maybe year or so, I’m told. I have a Macbook Pro from 2012 with a dead video card. A friend of mine posted this message on Facebook the other day regarding his MacBook Pro laptop that he purchased in 2012:
