tukar la ram... opssss

Hehe, mane blh tukar tu? Yg trusted ade ke?

I think your GPU gg. Bad new is the gpu is solder with logic board aka motherboard. Another bad new is, macbook pro retina is solder everything in the logic board including ram, processor , gpu etc.

Basically, apple is replacing whole motherboard for you. That why cost you a bomb.

Only the SSD is replaceable for this retina model.

I asking before, but same not very happy with the price. You know, when this kind of part involve, the cost won't run too much. I suggest you get new 1. At least come with new warranty, new macbook.


More or less will cost you this + service fee/labor fee

Alright, sure bro! Thanks for your help man.

good luck bro, hope they provide repair solution not replace. If replace sure ggwp.

After your kind explanation and advise, I think I will most probably go back to service center...like you said, got warranty and somemore they are so called "Authorized"...can't help it

Thank you again! Good night!
