MacBook pro freezes on log in and crashes
(sh.itjust.works)
I just got this Mac from my grandma because she said it wasn't working. It boots and lets me go into recovery mode but crashes in a similar way whenever a loading bar starts. I've tried booting every different way and cleared nvram. I didn't see any clearly visible damage on the logic board, and I'm willing to try any ideas as long as I can keep the price of fixing this under $100.
Yo op! I found this in my saved items... 4 weeks later: did you get it fixed? Hope so!
No, pretty much everyone I took it to said it would cost 300 to take a look at the motherboard and fix it, but 300 is close to the price of a new motherboard. I'm holding onto it in case I can snipe a working MacBook without a screen that's compatible for cheap. Thanks for following up!
Thanks op! I can sleep again! ;) good luck
