Where is the rest of this guide?
Obviously not following this guide, I opened my iMac that had full graphics failure, uninstalled the GPU-card, cleaned it, baked it in the oven to soften the solder and let the chip reattach itself, added new conductive paste, reinstalled it and it worked again.
I can't remember the temperatures, but there are tutorials to be found.
How long did your fix last?
I tried this heating of the GPU on a MacBook Pro 15" 2011 and it help up not even two months.
Non รจ una guida. Manca tutto!
This guide only covers removal of the outer glass and LCD display. Where are the rest of the steps?
