I sold the "leftover" display from the 2010 on eBay for $70, so I ended up spending $360 and, after changing the bottom covers between the two machines, I had a second 2011 17" Macbook with a 2.4 board. So for $430 and some shipping costs I had just what I needed. The best and easiest way around it was to purchase a used display assembly on eBay for $120. The only problem I encountered was the wiring for the display. I purchased a used 2011 2.4GHz logic board for $310 (a good deal for sure), and installation into the 2010 case was a snap. But last Fall I purchased a 2010 that was literally a basket case with however an almost perfect case.
One is a second 2011 2.5, which I don't think I'll ever part with. I've own several Mac's over the years, and after just selling one of my 17" 2.5 laptops on eBay I have two left right now. I mean a logic board lasting 1 month, just sounds insane. Which is insane, I am a huge apple fan, I've owned every iPhone that ever came out, but this is such a huge disappointment. When I restart the MacBook Pro it seems even worse than before, I don't just get the white screen with the apple logo that I can not get past, I actually get the white screen apple logo with error stripes running through from top to bottom throughout the entire screen. and that no repair in the world will work for me, but that I actually have to trash my beloved 17" MacBook Pro and get a new smaller MacBook Pro which I can not possibly afford right now, especially after spending 500€ to replace the logic board just a month ago?
So what am I looking at here? Is this apple's way of telling me, I can not own a MacBook Pro for more than 3 years. and I was actually working on a fairly big photoshop file, but still my macbook wasn't even hot on the outside yet, and it actually heats up fast. The M1 MacBook Pro can only connect to one external 6K display at 60Hz, including Apples Pro Display XDR.By comparison, the Intel-based entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro that it replaces only. Only 3 applications running were: Finder, little snitch, photoshop cs6. Then my screen split somewhat around the middle and everything that was supposed to be left was right, everything that was right was left, I could literally move my mouse to the edge of the right side of my screen and it would continue on the left side. 8 hours ago, I started getting the same error as before, my screen started flickering, even though I hadn't been working on the macbook for more than 2 hours. So exactly a month later, as you might recall I got a new logic board into my old MacBook Pro.
