    macbook pro 2011 dgpu disable brightness control

    there is an instructional on youtube that is in a foreign language and the gmux is reprogrammed to disable the dgpu. then he wires it to restore brightness control. a wire wasn't ran from the pch but a wire was used to restore the brightness control. Can anyone tell me how to wire the board the way it is done in the instructional?

      Yes, go back to the same video you linked -> turn on CC (closed captions) -> change the RUSSIAN option to AUTO-TRANSLATE -> English.

              MacBook Air 2011 13" >820-3023 A< no power (PLT_RESET_L missing)
              by _Cupa
              Dear community,
              this is my very first post, I am quite new to macbook repairs, and I am excited:-)

              I have a 2011 MacBook Air 13' that does not power on. No fan spin, nothing.

              Here are the specs:

              MacBook Air Mid-2011
              CPU: 1.7 GHz Core i5 (I5-2557M)
              Model: A1369 (EMC 2469)
              RAM: 4 GB
              VRAM: 384 MB


              The first question:
              Unfortunately, it came with a 'fake' power adapter which seems not to talk to the computer. Sometimes it does show green light immediately after connecting it to the board,...

              Lenovo ideapad 100-15 NM-A681 disable dGPU
              by someonenotyou
              Hi.

              I have a Lenovo ideapad 100-15 with probably bad dGPU.
              I tried to disable it by desoldering inductors going to dGPU.

              I desoldered 2 inductors (PL705 and L706) going to +VGA_CORE
              And 1 inductor (PL701) going to 1_05VS_LX.

              Is there anything else I need to desolder?

              If the PL701 is in place, I get fan spin at start, but nothing on the screen, no POST.
              If PL701 is desoldered, there is no fan spin, but LCD gets powered on (without backlight), but no POST.

              I have attached link to boardview and schematics.

              Alienware 13R3 bios mod request - to disable dedicated graphics (dgpu failure)
              by Mr.Ultimate
              Hi everyone, hope to get someone to help and modify bios rom for me.
              I need to disable dedicated nvidia graphics chip permanently.

              GPU chip had failed(cracked silicon DIE) and I can only use laptop without failing if I disable nvidia graphics in dev manager (but it still draws power from battery and generates thermal signature.

              Ideally if it was disabled from bios at preboot.

              I believe it is possible, because if I attatch external alienware graphics amplifier , laptop at boot will disable dedicated graphics #1 (failed one) and will only boot with AGA...

              Macbook air a1932 bootlooping after airport control
              by Featurea
              Hi,

              once again I am here with problems with my macbook. After successful repair, when everything was working fine, I took my macbook air to the airport and flight with it in carry-on baggage. Firstly after landing it was working fine, but suddenly it shuted down and started bootlooping to the apple sign. I managed to run it normally throught SMC reset, but problem was going back untill SMC reset stopped working. Now Macbook is bootlooping in normal start, I can't go to recovery, I tried internet recovery, but after fully loaded download bar it switches off.

              I have...

              Macbook pro 15" 820-2915-B 2011 A1286 boot on but black screen
              by resistor83
              Hi everyone, I have this 2011 MacBook Pro 15" model 820-2915-B which has a problem.
              I turn it on, the startup sound is heard but the screen doesn't turn on, not even the backlight. The keyboard lights up after a while and the capslock works. If I press any key I can hear sounds as if the system is booting.

              I thought it was a screen problem but after changing it the problem remains.

              What could I do?
