820-00045 - Video glitches - RIP CPU?

[Alan.L]

sometimes good and most time the video becomes bad whenever I try to load OSX.

when the video becomes pixelated and freezes, then I have to press and hold the power button to switch it off but it won't power up again with the keyboard unless I press the battery button several times.

Does it do it externally as well? If so, likely failing CPU/cracked traces under RAM. Time waster sadly

 

[Alan.L]

won't let me connect externally even with the lcd disconnected. my known working board works externally.

 

[JohnB8812]

Yeah that sounds screwed to me.

That's one for the junk bin I'd say.
