    MacBook Pro 2010 15'' GPU Kernel Panic --> Capacitor Replacement

    I have a MacBook Pro 2010 15'' which gets a GPU Kernel Panic after a while. I assume this is the bad low ESR 330µF 2V Tantalum-Capacitor used in this Mac. I want to replace it with a low ESR 470µF 2,5V Niobium-capacitor, since this is the only capacitor I have at home and could possibly fit into...

As the current 16 relies on gpu switching, it has made me concerned about it general performance in day-to-day tasks. How well does the 16 perform in lighter loads (such as...

    Hi! I'd been having a few troubles with a MBP 17 inches A1261. It turns on just fine, and it works OK, but when you try to resume it from sleep, if you try to open some app or even just the apple menu inmediately after, it turns off and then turns on but like dead (No chime, no picture, fans at...

    Do I have a repaired imac?

    Hi, I just bought a refurbished imac which is supposed to be a 27 inch late 2011 model with 3.4 GHz i7. But the GPU, a Radeon 4850, does not look like from 2011 imac. How do I find out if this is a repaired unit or not? Serial number lookup shows it as a 2011 model. Please help!

    Is an external monitor going to put extra strain on my older MacBook's GPU? (no gaming)

    It's an older (2010) 15" MacBook Pro I still own which keeps astounding me on how excellent it still runs after all these years, (I am not a gamer though). The only problem is it's manifesting some GPU glitches sometimes, like when opening some big sized PNG images on Preview (not always...
