[QUOTE="The_Pro, post: 1125686, member: 152493"] hmmm ok. i thought the discrete graphics card was removable, cuz i have taken apart lots of laptops (unfortunately no mb or mbp) and i was always able to just take the entire GPU out the motherboard, just like you can with the cpu. literally just pops out. hmmm well they replace the entire motherboard but i doubt its because thats the only solution. Apple is such a big company it is cheaper for them to just swap the entire motherboard than to pay a worker to take apart the notebook to replace one chip!! (just like with ipods etc. they just replace the entire device, when you have a small fault like the headphone jack is broken, instead of taking in the device and replacing the headphone slot) i attached an image of the current macbook pros 15" motherboard. you can see the GPU and in my experience it comes right off when pulled!!!?????? im not sure if thats the case with the macbook pro though. i could be wrong of course :D Anyone ever taken apart or repaired a macbook pro to that extent to know??
