Hi,

I have an A1286 820-2915-B, that doesn't boot. It shows the Apple logo, the loading bar starts to load, but then the logo disapers and the screen stays a bit light grey.
Already replaced the disk, and the disk cable, but with the same result.

Without the disk, the question mark signal stays on screen forever.

Don't know where to start. Can you help?

Classic GPU problem.
The image disappears at the moment macOS tries to load GPU driver.
Easy to disable in BIOS, or flashing GMUX.

Hi.
I've disabled GPU with medusa, removed the resistance, but after a few days the problem returns. What else can i do?
