Macbook Pro 2010 kernel panic GPU, shutdown issue repair guide

The Problem,

After a time Macbook Pro 2010 Shuts down and re-estart and this is the report:

*** Panic Report ***

The solution

If  your machine is having some graphical issues spacaially is a 2010 model

MacBook Pro this is a model if you actually do a Google search you won’t

find it if you just go to Apple comm but if you google search you will find a

support Apple comm article on these machines being covered for a certain

graphics issue now the Macbook pro 2011 is famous for graphics issues

 the 2008 and 7 ones famous for graphics issues Macbook Pro 2010 is in

famous for a graphics issue but it does indeed have one and I can show you here

here we go intermittent black screen or loss of video quality program so this is

for this model which uses an 8 to 02850 motherboard I had

an older machine where there was an issue with a capacitor on a buck converter the

idea with this buck converter is it turns twelve point six volts into

somewhere around one point zero five volts and when you have an issue with

this capacitor it will drop the voltage and I was talking about this in a video

on recycling and refurbishing and and heating things and talking about how

warranty service centers rather than often try to find the problem what

they’ll do is Oh to shove the board in an oven and it works again and I did a

demonstration with the iron where I tried heating up a that capacitor and

you saw the voltage jump from 0.3 volts to 1.0 5 volts it was obviously the

capacitor and I’m just going to give you a little bit of an overview of what that

circuit looked like over here so we’re just going to open the board that has

that very common flaw and if we look for that board the capacitor

that was heated is right down here so let’s just get this on the screen so

this is a buck converter that’s going to turn one point zero five volts into this

is going to turn 12 volts into one point zero five volts you have buck controller

I see you have your two transistors you have your coil and then after that you

have a 330 micro farad poly tantalum capacitor to ground this is going to be the the battery so to this is an issue that was not figured out by Apple

for the longest time Apple had no idea why this board was failing so if you had

this board replaced under the program they would give you back a board

that did the exact same thing again and this is something that drove a lot of

independent repair technicians absolutely crazy out of their

minds for the longest period of time and what you did had is you had a lot of

people heating the graphics chip in order to make it work again and the sad

part is that it often would make it work again and I want to explain why now in

the video that I did on the tantalum capacitor I showed you on that video and

I’m going to link it here. what I did is I showed you it was

dead and then I isolate I didn’t heat the ground I didn’t heat the big chip

that it was powering isolated it I only heated the capacitor and nothing else

and you saw that it worked beautifully again that’s because the capacitor was

bent so what people are doing is they’re often heating the graphics chip which is

going to be up here and while they’re doing that they’re preheating the entire

board and this heat is going to try and move over a little bit over here so this

is the graphics chip and then you have the capacitor over here so when they

heat the graphics chip they’re actually heating the capacitor and heating the

capacitor they’re making it work again and it took a long time for somebody to

I finally figured out that there was a pattern here is I’m going to put a new capacitor

I’m just going to scrape away over here

scrape away until I can fit a standard capacitor over here and I

want to see if I can turn it on and boot into the MAC OS without a kernel panic so

the issues would manifest themselves on this board with the screen going black

or a kernel panic and the kernel panic is always going to be something related

to graphics yeah people will think that the issue is a chip but the real issue

is this power rail is fluctuating in voltage and it’s not as catastrophic as

with the older ones again the older models they don’t have they don’t have

the same issue they have the issue with with the mCP and if the mCP doesn’t turn

on then it’s you know you’re just screwed so we’re just going to scrape

away over here we’re going to keep scraping until we get a nice base we can

just extend our solder pad out so that we can put a regular capacitor on there

and we’re going to solder to that I could probably scrape a little bit more,

should clean that if I finish extending it out so you just extend this out yeah

it’s going to make a little bit easier to get a cap on here we’re going to take

a 330 microfarad today same value. yeah this is from Apple store multiple

kernel panics a parenting console related to graphics processor graphics

processor may be failing requiring logic board replacement

Apple doesn’t know what they’re doing check the problem description

customer states machine will intermittently shut off during use

that’s the multiple kernel panics graphics processor may be failing

requiring logic board replacement graphics processor

again this this isn’t even recycling centers saying this stuff at this point
