[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1641221, member: 56379"] Anything can be fixed…the question is…is it worth it? You didn't say how "old" the old MacBook is. To fix the GPU problem you would need a replacement logic board. Replacement logic boards are not cheap…and generally speaking…the older the computer…the less likely the cost of the repair is worth it. And…depending on the age of the computer. If it's old enough…Apple will call it "vintage"…and won't even work on it. Bottom line. If this computer is more than 3-4 years old…probably isn't worth the cost. If the problem required a less expensive part…it would be worth it. But replacement logic boards are about the most expensive repair there is. - Nick [/QUOTE]
