    2011 MacBook pro dead GPU with EGPU?

    Has anyone seen anything where someone has successfully taken one of the famous 2011 macbooks with a bad graphics chip and used it with an external GPU instead? I could really use some tips on how/if that can be done. Thank you.

    MBP Early 2011 Instant off when remove power

    I recently purchased an used MBP, Late 2011 13 inch, and the seller (a friend) told me he bought it off eBay with the keyboard backlight not working. He did what he could, but never got it fixed. I purchased a new keyboard and backlight, since the old keyboard connector was very loose, not...
