There’s another thread talking about GPU failure but doesn’t really have the same symptoms I’m having, or none were mentioned.
I use this for basic browsing, very few gaming, but tonight I was messing around with Home Sharing to an Apple TV and running speed tests (moved router around). I went outside for about 20 minutes and when I came back I noticed Messages hadn’t updated. The display flickered a bit, I thought it was going to sleep.
Now the fans raced up, display is dark, and it seems it’s unresponsive.
I have a DVI (I think?) display somewhere to test, but I’ll need an adaptor and to dig it out. Maybe I can try HDMI to a TV, just to see if it still works?
Does this sound like the GPU failure? Maybe it knew I was ready to replace it with a 14” AS MacBook but Apple didn’t deliver. 😕
Edit to add I unplugged everything but power and I still have the same issue. I really can’t think of any other simple trouble shooting tonight. And I need to wake up in 5 hours.
