Reverse of this - I still have a MacBookPro 2011 with a dedicated GPU that suffered from brittle lead free solder issue, where I had to wrap the laptop up in a blanket for 30 mins to over heat it, soften the solder around the GPU to allow it to boot into OSX…. Then once there I could then switch to iGPU and use the Amphetamine app the keep it awake/never sleep.
If I needed to shut down I’d need to repeat this overheating process again.
Laptop still works to this day though I had a guy in the UK install a new dGPU with leaded solder.
