I didn't have projects anyway, so it's not so much an issue, except if I really needed to use Illustrator or Photoshop to do a quick graphic. Then, I realized I can't launch any Adobe application without the computer freezing, so I was forced to just use the MBP for browsing and watching videos. Right now, whenever I'm forced to restart (and it's taking quite longer each time I have to), I'll just launch 2.3 and switch to integrated without a hitch. I also uninstalled Steve's versions, then reinstalled 2.3, without having it launch at login. I kind of figured Battery Helper, which starts up during login, might be a factor, so I uninstalled it. Simply clicking to switch the GPU freezes everything. I tried both versions of fork/fix, but, that didn't work at all. I've had this issue of switching to discrete first, then only to integrated the second time round, and then sometimes, it will switch to integrated right away, but, the MBP will hang, forcing me to do a hard-restart. I found your fix, tried it, and it worked every now and then. Then it was really bad, since I couldn't start the MBP up at all.Ī couple of months ago, it started giving out again, even though the AHT didn't register anything wrong with the hardware, I was sure it's the same graphics card issue. There is a chance that it would keep working for a few years more, which is just enough.Īnd yes, Apple My MBP Early 2011 has had its logic board replaced before the program expired in 2016.
