    Macbook a1707 2017 model 820-00928 GPU issue

    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

      MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
      by rounin
      Hi everyone,

      I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

      🛠 Original Issue
      The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
      Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

      I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

      ⚠️ New Problem: One USB-C Port Only Works in One Orientation...

      MacBook Pro A1707 Graphics issue.
      by janoszw
      Hi, I'm having a problem with my MacBook Pro A1707.
      There are graphics glitches all over the screen.
      I took a screenshot, so it's not a screen issue, but either the graphics card or VRAM chips.
      Has anyone had this issue before? I don't want to replace unnecessary components.
      The system is otherwise quite stable, it's just a visual problem.
      Thanks....

      MacBook Pro 15" 2017 A1707 USB C MAJOR ISSUE
      by Stephen
      Device powers on and charges etc. Heres the deal, swapped out the USB C ports because it was not charging, charges now, but now the USB C ports kill my external devices (USB EXTERNAL THUMBDRIVES) . so far it killed three thumbdrives. Again macbook operates normally and charges, but I cannot connect any external devices to the ports until I figure out what is causing this issue. Remember I swapped out multiple USB C ports and they all are causing the same issue, even with . new ones. So if there needs to be a logic board repair can someone point me to the right direction?

      A1466 MacBook Air 13" 2017 Backlight issue works but then turns off
      by Stephen
      Hello, got a weird MacBook Air here
      board looks fresh and no water damage, backlight works and turns on and stays on when installing OS etc. However, when the os is installed and when the system files are loaded before the login page the backlight goes out. I have wiped it, NVRAM reset, etc and even took some other instances and this blows my mind, never seen this before. Backlight just turns off once the OS is loaded. Anyone come across this and if so what would be the cause? I am certain its a board issue since I tested the LCD on another board and it stays on. Again the backlight works...
