[QUOTE="MBAmtloin, post: 1840896"] is "they" the apple store? The apple store (and other on-line "experts") told me my Imac g4 needed a new logic board years ago when all that needed was a new pram battery, reset and reinstall. so be careful Ifixit has an article about the 15" thermal [URL="https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Heat+Sink+Replacement/10785"]here[/URL] your macbook pro is a great machine but not worth that price getting repaired. i would reset the pram and investigate why the screen is going dark, could be a software issue or even not enough cool air flowing into the macbook pro. There are little things like having a laptop close to the wall, on glass or metal and even not cleaned out that will throttle the machine. i fond out that if I plug my Macbook into one socket in my house, the trackpad stutters and gets choppy just last month. hopefully there is a solution I or someone might help your macbook pro with, most cases a simple pram clearance, removal of cat hair or more power will remedy he problem.
