    Macbook Pro Mi-2010 flickering randomly

    Hello,

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro in hand that had kernel GPU issues. I changed the famous capacitor which is generally lacking and the failure seems to be fixed.
    My problem: I have random mouse and backlight flashes that stop if I disable automatic graphics card choice and as a bonus, I have the keyboard backlight that flashes randomly...

    Do you have any idea what could be problematic? I don't see any connection between the keyboard and the GPU but hey, you never know.

    Thank you

      MacBook Pro 2018 with Activation Lock
      by envym
      Hi everyone!

      I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (with Sequoia OS) that I've been using for years with no problem. I recently received an M2 MacBook Pro so I'm mostly using it and not the 2018 one, but since a friend of mine needs a computer, I thought I could restore my 2018 and give it brand-new-like to my friend.

      I tried using the built-in tool to restore the MacBook (Settings > General > Transfer or restore > Delete) but it got stuck when trying to remove the Find Device configuration (it asked me for the password for my old Apple ID -now I use the same account but...

      MacBook Pro A1708 pink screen and flickering
      by dbuergi
      Hi all,

      a friend brought me his A1708. Apple store told him that the screen needs to be replaced for 400 € but they didn't even open it to check anything.
      Since this model is not known for flexgate issues is there anything else i can check or is this also a faulty display flex?
      Btw external screen works fine.

      General question about MacBook power rails for repair.
      by SarcasticOP
      I am looking at an A2337 and found this for the order of power rails and what they do. Can this be confirmed before I dive into hunting down power rails that do not exist or are not neccisary?
      • PPBUS_G3H (12.6V-12.8V)
        • This is the main power rail that supplies power to the entire system. Check this rail first, as it must be present for other power rails to work.
      • PP3V42_G3H (3.42V)
        • This power rail is derived from PPBUS_G3H and is used to power the SMC (System Management Controller) and other essential circuits. It should be present if PPBUS_G3H is working correctly.
      • PPVRTC_G3H (3.3V)
        • This
