[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1811627, member: 307555"] I have this MBP model too. It did not qualify for the recall - according to the genius at apple. Now it has a green and red vertical line going through the screen. Anyway, it still runs and after I found out the replacement logic boards were refurbished and sometimes created more problems than they solved, I was kinda glad I did not "qualify." That said - it sounds like it could be the MagSafe DC-in board?? Check out ifixit for your model: [url]https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro_15%22_Unibody_Early_2011[/url] Also check out this link in Macrumors. It sounds very similar to your issues and they have some suggestions you can try.
