It's the issue with the bad tantalum capacitor that needs to be replaced with a solid state one if I recall correctly.

Graphics not switching properly between the nvidia dedicated graphics and intel integrated graphics causing kernel panics.

There is a video on how to do this:

@benjamen50 - You got it Ben!

I might add this is an easy repair for someone who has the correct tools and skills. This is on the edge of most DIY'ers.
