More information for this can be found in this rather long thread or in this amusing youtube video. The cost for the parts will make you laugh with tears. That means owners holding on to these machines have to look for a trustworthy hardware repair shop that is not an AASP and willing to do this. Apple will not do that at all out of a bizarre principle and Apple also forbids AASPs do this kind of repair (the machine in question also is way out of warranty and AppleCare).

If that is the case, then a good, and permanent, proper, fix would be to replace the cheap capacitor. The algorithm is based on a solution provided by user fabioroberto on MacRumors forums. - Condition is for parts or not working - Power not turn on - SSD has been removed - Come only MacBook Air Policy Note: item is sold as a non working item and untested so I’m not accept your returns or refunds on this items. MBPMid2010_GPUFix is an utility program that allows to fix MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) intermittent black screen or loss of video. Performance will be a bit reduced by that. The 15-inch Core i7 Spring 2010 MacBook Pro still outperforms this 13-incher by a considerable margin, but it also costs 1,000 more in the configuration we tested. That can be made easier by using a ready made patch for that. That can be achieved by altering the kext AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext. If the capacitor is the problem, then one 'halfway' good solution is to circumvent the most problematic part of power management by lowering the power allowance for these dGPUs.

When I try to install MacOS, it gets stuck at 60 on the Apple logo screen. I swapped in a brand new PNY 128GB 2.5' SSD that I had laying around, 8GB of RAM (2x4, matching pair), & a 'new' battery I bought on eBay. But in reality it is most often only a tiny little capacitor that really has a flaw and interferes with power management of the dGPU. I was given a Mid 2010 13' MacBook Pro that had a bad hard drive and a battery that was ballooned out. It is entirely possible that indeed the NVidia dGPU might be defective.

It just appears like that because you notice the problems when the dGPU is 'switched on'. Apple MacBook Pro 15' A12 MC371LL/A MC372LL/A MC373LL/A Logic Board. On most of these models it is not really the dGPU that is defective.

While that circumvention is possible – either electrically, or with EFI/NVRAM hacking, or with moving the video driver kexts related to the NVidia-chip, it is by far not the best solution. Most owners of MBPs from 2010 with an apparently flawed NVidia dGPU should not seek to disable the GPU.
