I'm wondering if this could either be a Hard Drive failure or possibly graphics or logic board issue. Instead of abandoning a bootloader you like, how about you instead just create a separate /boot partition. Dealing with reverting this back to a protective MBR is pretty easy with gptfdisk.
#Mid 2010 macbook pro screen issues install
Websites & web graphics are also very glitchy.Īfter a clean install of Mountain Lion, it SOMETIMES loads to the login screen normally, when I enter my password in, to the right the spinning load icon freezes, and once again I am not able to boot OSX normally.Ī year ago, I had an issue with the Logic board and it was replaced by Apple it worked fine again until now. Re: Macbook Pro 7.1 (mid 2010), nvidia blob,efi and hybrid mbr,gpt. I can boot into safe mode and I have access to everything, but the graphics are choppy when trying to view widgets, expose, mission control, etc. Removing all peripherals from macbook ports.Reinstalling Mountain Lion via Recovery Disk.Reinstalling Mountain Lion via USB stick.The issue I'm having is it only goes as far as the apple logo, the spinning dots, The keyboard then lights up, the monitor dims and it just hangs there forever. There must be some kind of connector in there that became lose by holding the laptop by the screen or something like that. It's going to make a bit of a plastic sound when doing this. It just hasn't been able to boot normally. Close it, then gently run your finger across the black strip on the back of your macbook pro, where the keyboard connects to the screen. Recently my 15 inch Macbook Pro (mid 2010, i7) hasn't been booting normally (No drops, no spills, etc).
