[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1762153, member: 56379"] I would love to speak with this repair person. The GPU on a 2011 15" MacBook Pro is NOT a separate part that can be easily removed & replaced. It's a surface mounted/soldered component...and really VERY difficult to remove without damaging items around it (stuff is just packed in too tightly). And even if it could be removed...then there's the sourcing of the part (not simple). If it was this easy to repair failed GPU's in various models with failed GPU's...all of us DIY folks would be doing it!:) And of course if this repair/replacement was done correctly...it would certainly last far longer than 24hrs!!! - Nick p.s. Please ask this repair person to join Mac-Forums...and explain how he's able to replace the GPU!:) [/QUOTE]
