Running the ASD EFI version will usually claim all is fine. As this Mac also has an internal (Intel) GPU some things might work just fine. This most likely cause by a dead AMD GPU. Why didn't tech support tell me about this program? They let me send it in then tried to extort an extra $300 for a non-consequential dent by the battery and charge for a new uppercase. Apples greed on the one I sent for a flat rate repair got them this time. Both machines failed the test and Apple will have to replace the logic board on both. They have to run a diagnostics test (which I can't get yet) to see if the machine qualifies. I took both machines into an ASP I work with. Apple did not bother to mention this program when I sent in the last machine. You may have to call directly as they don't tell me you on this link if you qualify. Apple announced a extension repair program 2/20/15. I have two more machines in with the identical issues, Both are MBP 15" 2011. I'll let you know if I can come up with a better solution. Apple said it was a logic board issue, they probably know the exact problem but aren't telling. You might also be lucky and get a reasonable tech. So if your machine is perfect on the out side I would suggest a Flat Rate repair. My customer refused the extra charge and bought a new machine. Apple gets it, sees a small dent in the corner where the hard drive is, which affects nothing, and demanded another $300 to replace the upper case. Called Apple, no solution except to send it in for a "Flat Rate Repair", $357 with tax and shipping.
Tried booting from external drive same problem. I have an identical machine with the same issue.
Just removed the SSD Drive an booted it on an other Mac. Has anyone encountered a similar problem with their MacBook Pros? I don't think it is the wide spread El Capitan Boot Freeze I'm afraid it is a hardware problem :-( A horizontal stripe of artefacts (see Screengrab) appeared quickly and the black screen followed by a white screen an the fans starting to run on max speed. Today same glitch but but the MBP shut down after pulling the display cable! On trying to boot, the Apple Logo appeared and the progress-bar went halfway through. I blamed it on a faulty display cable or the external screen itself. It started a few days ago when I had two glitches where the external display would show the left half of the screen on the right side and the other way around. I tried resetting NVRAM and booting in Safe-Mode. I've got a wicked problem with my MBP early 2011 El Capitan (high-res display 1680x1050 pre Retina).Īs stated it crashes half way through the boot sequence.
