There is a pervasive issue in older 15-in "dual graphics" MacBook pro 2011 models. In many cases, the Discrete graphics chip get worn out or damaged in such a way that it can not work, but the system thinks it can. if you ever allow it to try to work, your Mac goes dormant, never to re-awaken.


If you are content to:

• NEVER connect an external display and

• NEVER allow your mac to Sleep (just leave it running and sleep the display), or shut it down at the end of the day, Then:

there is a small set of software patches you can apply that will patch the Discrete graphics chip out.
