However, this is the exactly how I did things, since first I found one solution and then the others. This step isn’t really necessary, and you can jump to the next step. What you are going to store on it it’s not going to more than 10 mb.

To make make those solutions work in the long run, you are going to need a USB stick in order to have a way of booting your Mac, from the very beginning, or when you update your system and the fix stop working as a consequence of the update. Probably, you are fine to proceded from the solution number 2 onwards. The solutionįirst of all, I have to say that I begun with the solution number 1 and then I switch to the 2, 3 and 4 ones. I’m going to summarize here what I’ve done to fix it under High Sierra macOS 10.13.1 on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro. And that the bright control is not longer going to work, at least at the moment.

One is that your Mac is not longer going to sleep properly, but it can be fixed just changing the sleep mode to hibernation. The solution works, but there is some caveats, under High Sierra.

But, how do you make that happen when the only thing you are able to see is the grey screen of death? Basically you make the computer to not boot using the drivers for the discrete graphic car. The solution is quite simple, since what is failing is the discrete graphic card and you usually don’t use it in your daily life, you just have to stop using that card at all, and use all the time the integrated one. It seems that a lot of boards are dying all over again. So I decided to ditch the idea that the RAM was the cause of the grey screen of death, reinstalled the RAM and looked for another solution.įinally, I found these solutions ( 1, 2, 3 and 4), which were quite recent. However, the result was always the very exact one. So I decided to give it a try to this guy’s suggestion and I even switched the RAM for the original ones, since I upgraded 4 years ago to two 8 GB modules. The last time I did a hardware test, when I changed my hard drive in the US, it yielded a RAM problem, and this time threw me the same error.
I begun with searching on internet about the problem and some people suggested that it was a RAM problem.
So, in Sunday morning, after I slept on the issue and I had a proper coffee and breakfast, I got my hands on to try to fix the problem. This is not proper quality Apple (AMD / Nvidia are also culprits here), and I don’t know whose idea was to mount those logic board / chips on this Mac model, but I think it wasn’t the brightest idea ever. My entire logic board was changed on July 2014 and 3 years and a half down the road it failed again last Sunday. I think there is two kind of machines out there, the ones where the issue already happened and the ones where it’s going to happen. It’s a malaise that occurs to almost any 2011 Macbook Pro’s computer. It’s not the first time that the discrete graphic card fails in my laptop. So, I decided to left the issue to sleep -it was around 1.30 am in the morning, and led the computer to make a hardware test, pressing D key on startup.
Restore mode, alt + R on boot, also the gray screen of death. I tried safe mode, pressing shift key on boot, and nothing, just the same gray screen of death. Nothing could be done to load the computer normally. After 3 or 4 boots into the desktop and then the gray screen of dead the computer begin to load directly just to the gray screen of death. After I forced reboot pushing the on/off button, the normal loading gray screen had glitches as thin-horizontal-weird lines. I just rebooted it and 5’ after loading the desktop a solid gray screen appear that allowed to do nothing. The computer was working just fine, it wasn’t even using the discrete card, connected to the external screen as I’ve been doing lately, or any doing any other intensive task. On Saturday late night, or rather around Sunday 00.30 am, my MacBook Pro late 2011’s discrete graphic card begin to fail to in the end not being able to boot it properly. Last Sunday wasn’t really a pleasant day.
