EASY FIX MACBOOK PRO 15 MID-2010 GPU PANIC KERNEL CRASH ISSUE 2020
When I saw those bezels, that almost make the screen look like an older iPad, I knew exactly which Macbook this was lol I obsessed over the 2012 Macbook knowing I would never own it. And I never did. (As I type on a Macbook Pro M3)
I've got a 2012 upgraded to Ventura with OCLP, and a 2011 Running Linux Mint Cinamon Virginia. Both run extremely well, and the Linux laptop runs so much faster it's become my go to machine. Both of these are i5's. If I see an i7 out there, I'm tempted to grab it as well.
i have this macbook i was able to upgrade it to lion, but it dosent have the upgraded memorey, is it worth any money? i might want to sell it
I bought one in mint condition 3 days ago for 80 euros. It was really struggling running High Sierra with it's 4Gb RAM and it's 5400RPM Harddrive. After rushing home, the first thing i did is : - Add 16Gb of RAM instead of it's original 4Gb. - Add a 500Gb Samsung 860 Evo SSD. - Replace the thermal paste and install OSX Catalina. What can i say, everything is SEAMLESS, i really REALLY like the unibody design of 2011 / 2012 Macbook and it still feels modern even after 13 years. I'm writing with it, the keyboard is godlike on those models (yes shame on you butterfly keyboard, SHAME), very pleasant and definetly usable for EVERYDAY use. It's even QUIET. Something i didn't expect. I'll give it to my mother which have one hell of a sluggish (even if more modern) Asus PC with a low-end AMD APU.
You are so genius !!
Can you upgrade my MacBook 2011? I’ll send it to you.
That would be a fun project I’m game, send me more details through my email!
Snow Leopard is amazing, I loved the computer btw, if I saw any for $20 I'd bought without a doubt haha
I got the same macbook but mine had a 128gb ssd
Bro action camera 4K video editing you
Its very good that you mentioned the GPU issues, I got a dead 2011 15" lying around since 2018. Hopefully I'll get to try dosdude1's fix soon and see how it goes, such a good computer gone to waste.
As a bit of backstory it was a hand me down from my dad who used it heavily for music mixing on pro tools since 2011 and it broke as soon as he gave it to me in 2018 so it did pull its punches for a while to be completely fair
If you have a working disc drive in these iMacs, putting Snow Leopard on it and using Front Row as a DVD player with the white/aluminum Apple Remote is the way to go!
Always disconnect battery flex, for safety...
I have a 17” early 2006 model that I have upgraded to a core 2 duo and flashed it to be the 5,1. I have it running Lion currently. They make pretty nice windows XP machines with Bootcamp as well. The fans are max speed because the hard drive was likely replaced, and they didn’t put the temp sensor back on the new drive.
I did not think of that, to add the fact the bezels were lose too, definitely has been replaced! Great thinking!
@@cynonexus it’s very easy to bend the brackets that hold the bezel on as you have to put a fair amount of force on them to unclip them. They are in the vents in the back.
Uhhh yeah. They may have listed it at $100, but it's definitely not worth that. $50 maybe.
$20 is even not worth it
Hello, I have the same model iMac. Currently running macOS High Sierra. As this video how do I install macOS Sonoma to my iMac?
Open core legacy patcher, lots of how to videos on yt!
@@cynonexus thanks
there is any way to use it as an regular monitor? even if need do some soldering?
There is but you’d be better off using it for the 4k and 5k iMacs!
My whole music library, over 300gb of music is into one of those running snow leopard, why, Front Row …timeless
Nostalgic for sure
upgrade the ram, SSD, then use the opencore installer to hack in a newer version of MacOS. i got an 8,1 iMac (2008) and its running Mojave and FIrefox ESR as the browser, and it is fine for productivity, web browser, slicing prints, running my laser engraver, email etc.
Unfortunately this is limited by its efi but the 2007 models can run oclp
@@cynonexus apparently the 07's can be upgraded if you upgrade the CPU
@@DaiAtlus79the absolute newest you can get running on it is El Capitan, and that’s with major hacks and without any hardware acceleration.
I own both a "glossy white" 20-inch G5 iMac and a "glossy white" 24-inch Intel iMac system. Keep the G5 iMac on OS X 10.4 Tiger and, the Intel iMac on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard both desktops have MS Office, Apple Works, iLife '09, iWorks '09, and support watching and recording digital TV channels over the air using my Elgato EyeTV 500 system. And yes, your statement was correct Snow Leopard was the best ever Apple computer operating system (prior to trying to make the operating system look like an iPhone OS or iPad OS (smile ... smile).
I have the g5 iMac (without iSight camera). it's pretty fun, however slower than my iMac g4 and emac with g4...
G5s are your personal heater
@@cynonexus absolutely !! 😂 g5 runs hot and has horrible performance.
I have always, loved my 20-inch G5 iMac. However, in 2014, I use it only as a stand alone device (smile ... smile).
I have that same model, unfortunately mine was damaged in shipping, it also needs a recap as it freezes after a while using it.
Can’t u uparge them to 64bit
One way to find out lol but no because it’s on the logic board
@@cynonexus that strange
@@weelebaseknowles4410you can upgrade the 32-bit Core Duo models to a 64-bit Core 2 Duo and then flash it to properly support the 64-bit CPU and the max 3-4gb of ram. Although you cannot update the efi from 32-bit to 64-bit.
I have three of them on my farm, bought for $25 each, and after replacing them with SSD and installing Ubuntu, they work great. It has an excellent screen and good speakers and I need them to run one application that connects to the home server and I do everything on the server and these are just computers-terminals. The original keyboard is very nice and can be used even with work gloves, but the original mouse is a nightmare.
Maybe this is the perfect computer to try ubuntu and see how it goes
So nice to see a welcome message partly in Russian - Добро пожаловать ))))

Try ubutnu 22.04 LTS I will guide you though setup via comments driver's are not auto installed during installation even when you tell it to you need to go to software updater after you installed ubuntu also you must do: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo snap refresh it might look like nothing is bej g typed in whilst putting in your root user password after pressing enter on sudo commands but its actually going in the root & user password r the same!
Might make a decent Monitor with an aliexpress kit
Maybe but I do think you’d be better off getting a much never 2012-2013 iMacs for $80-100 more
I owned a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), alredy installed a new drive and add memory, but now I can't update Mac OS I'm on MacOS CATALINA that is not letting me update any of the apps on my computer, you know what can I do?
Ahhh, I have the exact same question. I upgraded my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro a couple of years ago to 16GB memory & 2.5 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5. I have Mac OS Catalina Version 10.15.7 but can't figure out how to upgrade the operating system to a more recent version.
Open core legacy patcher is your friend, Catalina is the last supported version for the 2012 MacBooks
Awesome mac video!😁
Thanks! 😁 glad you like it!
I use one of these for tasks when I'm traveling. I use a 2012 21.5" iMac for everything and it's a good computer, under older macOS versions and Windows 11. Apparently my iMac is slow with macOS Sonoma, even with an SSD and 16GB of RAM.
Honestly anything 2012 era is starting to show its age with Sonoma! But an i7 is still good with my 15” 2012
Another fantastic video! I do love my 2012 13" MBPs, I have three at the moment (one without an internal SATA cable rip). Few thoughts/questions. Macs Fan Control and OCLP breathe new life into them on the software side and 8GB RAM and an SSD on the hardware side. I usually run Monterey or Ventura as I've found Sonoma to have issues that make them not very useful. Have you ran into the bad RAM slot issue that's common on these? Often flexing the board will cause crashes. All three of mine have the issue so I'm limited to 8GB on each. Easy fix is only using one slot for ram. As far as the old HDDs, I find they're great backup drives for the computers I use more often. An iMac and a few 2.5" SATA USB enclosures make for a great Time Machine backup server over my local area network.
not having any issues regarding the ram aspect of it but I agree Monterey is the sweet spot for these MacBooks unless you really need maximum compatibility
Intel nailed it with the Core chips for these kinds of applications. In many ways they perform similar to how they always did, adjusted for the extra inflation of software and websites etc. SSDs are an absolute must, my friend has this exact 2012 MBP, and it takes minutes to load single apps on Ventura purely because of that spinning drive.
Technology in general has been a gradual increase in comparison to the early 2000s so in other words, computers are lasting longer and longer!
what i love about this machine is its repairability. i have one macbook air 2014 which i got from fb marketplace… but i still want to have this specific model of mbp. thanks
2014 MacBook airs are still wonderful
sir how did you installed sonoma directly to this unsupported mac from that external drive? is that a standard install? or OCLP?
It’s open core legacy patcher! It’s just a bootable recovery Sonoma with oclp patched to it
Will a 2011 Macbook pro allow me to backup my iphone
just picked one up for under £50, popped an ssd in & it's working fine. nicer machine to use than the retina version, which I bought new, maxed out, in late 2012. useful selection of ports, & a dvd drive- what's not to like? the 16GB thing is a bonus- it wasn't supposed to be supported so that's good to know. helps with the shared vram I guess. I'm leaving mine on an older OS for legacy app support & performance, but I'd got some resolution tweaking app on the build, which allows me (apparently) to run the internal display at 1200 or higher, not just the 800 native. it's a bit gritty but it works, & wins you some extra real-estate for full-screen apps.
also have one with 16gb and an ssd... i would use it more, but the amount of heat this thing produces is a nono for me. if it weren't for that.. i'd could use it for mundane things for fun... but again, i personally wouldn't use it as a main machine. one big negative is that you cannot have this macbook on your device list and also enable 'advanced data protection' an any of your apple devices until you remove this mbp 2012 from your apple account. which again prevents it from being a main machine bc you cannot sync it with your other apple devices. mine is running the latest OS it's allowed to run natively. maybe if someone has hacked a more up-to-date os on it, it'll allow that security feature. it's too bad apple has become such an ani-consumer company. would be so nice if modern apple products were self-upgradable like in this one.
I guess I didn’t even think of that! Good note taking!
The uni-body polycarbonate MacBook is by far one of my favorite MacBook designs ever . I currently own a Mid 2010 unit with the 2.4 ghz Core 2 Duo which btw I'm currently writing this on it using macOS 12 with Open Core. it's quite sluggish compared to my 2012 uni-body with Sonoma but it gets most simple things done.
I’m surprised you even got Sonoma to run on it! Cheers
I have two of these that I bought several years ago and upgraded both to a 1tb ssd as a main and then both have a second 1 tb drive for data in the media bay as well as 16gigs of ram. Both are amazing machines and I will state these are the best ever laptops ever made. The quality of the hardware is superb and I have both hooked up to 27 inch external monitors and are showing full HD - it is like having an iMac (along with external hard drive and mouse). I am blown away by how good these are for basic tasks including viewing videos in HD. I have Catalina running on both and there is no need to change. I have both laptops with lids closed and on a power supply as well.
That’s good to know! Still an amazing legacy device
Do it install OpenCore Patcher Legacy!
With that 2gb of ram, I’m not sure if I can even do anything with it 😂
@@cynonexus AHh! dont do it install it because it's will kill Mac!
You need to be very stupid do buy this.
hi, Do you recommend i run my 2012 MacBook pro with the Sierra OS or Sonoma Os?
Sierra for maximum performance but Sonoma is great if you want the most compatibility with apps
