Hey everyone, after having this problem, i found out the problem might not be the soldering at all. one day there, one day to repair and one day to send it back. Next morning there is an overnight FedEx box on my door step. I call 1-800-MYAPPLE and request it, give them a credit card. Total time for this is four days including the first call day. For that they will fix any and all problems if the machine has not received liquid damage or incurred a major impact. Due to the cost of the part, I have sent two into Apple requesting a 'Flat Rate' depot repair. Let's also ask if he has run into The only solution I have found on the GPU issue is a logic board replacement. This will check both the sticks and the slots. On each try take a look at the system configuration and see if it is reading correctly. Try it in one slot and then the other slot. To test use just one stick of RAM and remove the other. However, recently I have seen three 2011-2012 machines where it is not and is the logic board. If it eventually chimes or beeps then you can start reconnecting components, knowing that once you connect something and stops working then you have found the failure.The three beeps has historically been a RAM issue. If this is the case then you can try disconnecting components (hard drive, optical drive, display, etc) and then powering on again. This tells us that it's not progressing past the early stages of the boot process. Press the power button to turn on the Macģ) If you remove both RAM DIMMs and attempt to power on the Mac does it beep (different from the normal chime) at all or is it just a black screen with with only the fan spinning? If the Mac doesn't beep then it's failing to recognize that no RAM is installed, which it checks during it's boot process.Release the power button and all of the keys at the same time.Hold the (left) Shift, Control and Option keys and press the power button for 3-5 seconds.

Connect your power adapter to your computer and ensure that your Mac is turned off.You can do this using the following steps, you might see the power adapters LED change color during the process. A lot of odd issues can come back to a faulty SMC state, which are often resolved by resetting it. This would be my approach to the problem.ġ) I would attempt to remove the RAM and inspect the RAM slots on the logic board, using compressed air and/or a small pick if debris is visible.Ģ) Reset the SMC. My first thought with this would be faulty RAM or possible debris in the RAM slots on the logic board.
