Hello there
I have problem with Macbook Pro 15" 2017, model 2017, MB code 820-00928.
I bought it as broken with some artefacts on the screen, first I thought that this is problem with ribbon cable but after inspectiing ribbon cable I know it is fine. I tried to reinstall macOs and then I figured out that this must be something with GPU as installation freezes at the end (when drivers are loaded). I installed Windows and was able to install every each of drivers except GPU driver, as soon as I tried to install GPU driver - black screen and restart.
I disassembled macbook and reflowed GPU memory, now macbook turns on but with black screen
My question is there any way to dissable GPU by hardware and use only integrated one? I don't need Radeon as I will use this macbook only for web, excel etc.
Thanks for any help
