View more great items 2011 Macbook Pro 15" Graphics Problem. This computer turns on and the apple icon pops up like its going to load and stops almost 1/2 the way and the screen turns completely white and stays there. I am thinking its a graphics/motherboard issue. This laptops body is in great condition with some scratches/nits in places on it. If someone can fix it this will be a great laptop. I am this as is and a nonworking laptop. I will include the wall charger as well.
