This relates to a MacBook Pro late 2011… This relates to a MacBook Pro late 2011 model which are known to have an issue with their GPU's; they eventually fail and you are unable to reboot beyond a grey screen. Having tried with Simplyfixit initially, as they were the local experts, once they had determined it was the GPU, they said it could not be fixed. I did some online research, told them there was a firmware fix available, gave them the heads up on where to find it, but they said it didn't work. They were clearly not that interested in investing some time and effort into checking out my Youtube source. I wasn't happy about discarding an otherwise perfectly good MacBook Pro, so looked around Edinburgh and found Smartfix had many good reviews. Although the guys there had never worked on this particular issue before, their attitude was really positive and were willing to take on the challenge. They invested up front in the required firmware and programmer to undertake the repair, which also requires some delicate soldering. They did so remarkably quickly, keeping me well informed at all times and most importantly, I got my laptop back, upgraded & better than new; they achieved what Simplyfixit said was not possible / not worth trying to fix. A real pleasure to deal with. Any and all future requirements I have, Smartfix will get my business and I highly recommend them. Date of experience: 26 April 2021
