2010 mini logic board reset with dead coin battery

2010 mini will not see ram on start up; one beep & one blink. and again every 3-5 seconds. thats all. would, or could a  dead auxillary battery cause this ? have replaced ram with known good ram.
mini will not post, boot etc:

I doubt it's the battery, I haven't seen that cause what you're seeing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2674 lists that it's bad or no ram.
So, it's either the ram isn't fully seated, the ram is bad, or the ram slot on the mlb is bad.

    It should work, but I would be careful just in case.

  • MBP 2010. Logic board ?

    I just dropped off my MBP 2010. They said it was a logic board.
    Symptoms : Fan running high. Beach ball , jerky cursor, very slow response time
    I zapped the PRAM about a month ago. When some of the symptoms started. It worked for a while ...
    Could the new OS download have anything to do with this? I have been using Apples since 1996 and hope Apple will rectify this issue if there is a fault in the manufacturing side or software .
    No Appplecare cost 280 flat fee...

    You got an excellent price - I try to let as many people that I can know of Apple's flat-rate repair policy. They could have been unscrupulous and charge you nearly $800.
    I doubt that any software download could have caused logic board failure - I've never heard of it occurring. Faulty logic boards just turn up from time to time. Sometimes the symptoms can go unnoticed for years, sometimes they just fail at any given moment. Thank goodness, it's not  pandemic around the Mac community.
    Once you get your logic board replaced, I think that you'll be pleased. And you did get a great deal on it.
    Good luck,

  • Logic board dings with no ram and doesn't with ram

    I am wondering about a logic board that will ding when there is no ram in it and will not when ram is put in it. There has been several sticks of good ram tried in the logic board with no luck. What is the problem?

    I found the answer.

  • Anyone experienced Logic Board failure with their Late 2011 Macbook Pros?

    A couple of months ago, my late 2011 Macbook Pro (13.3in) randomly fried it's own Logic Board. I was using it normally and smelled a burning smell coming from around the side where all of its ports are located. The entire Macbook died immediately and when I took it to a local repair shop, they said the Logic Board had burn marks on it and the charger's prongs where partially melted. I'm going to take it to an Apple store soon but since I'm out of warranty, I'm not sure what they can do for me. Has anyone else had this problem? not really sure what to do here.....

    Are you insured... When my board needed replacing it cost upwards of £800.00. But a quick call to my insurers covered it under accidental damage.
    I had, after all, dropped a pint of lemonade in it.
    Ooooooops!

  • What is the Late 2012 Mac mini logic board chipset?

  • (HELP) Dead MacBook Pro.. possibly something to do with the logic board.

    I had been noticing my MacBook Pro's performance degrading lately.. for example whenever I dragged a file into a folder it would lag for 5-6 seconds and then copy over. It started to bug me so I guessed that maybe a reinstall would fix the problem. After reinstalling and rebooting, I got no video on the display.. keyboard wouldn't work.. only things that happened was the disc drive made a sound, light came on the font and could hear the HDD spinning a little.
    I then took it to the Apple store as thats what Apple told me to do on the phone. So we took the loverly 3 hour drive(there and back) to the closest Apple store just to have the man take it out the back for 2-3 minutes and then come back to say "It's possibly the logic board that is dead".
    I am out of warranty by 2-3 months and so he told me I would have to pay £700 or so to repair. As a full-time student I don't have that kind of money.. I don't even have £60. - I find it annoying how they didn't even fully check the problem out.. just a "possibly the logic board".
    So what if I manage to click my fingers and have £700 appear right before my very eyes? I pay for the new logic board just to find out thats not really the problem? or maybe have the same thing happen again right after the 90 days that logic board is covered for? meaning I have to fork out another £700.
    I am a massive fan of Apple.. I love their products. I have brought so many products of theirs.. now just 2-3 months after my warranty runs out.. I get this. They didn't even say sorry for selling me a faulty product and didn't offer to help out in any way. When I spend £1,299 on something I expect it to last A LOT longer than a year and 3 months.
    I need my MacBook Pro very badly for College but now I can't do my work and if I want to do my work, I have to pay £700 for it.
    What do I do? Who do I talk to? Is it possible to get it fixed without having to pay that kind of money?
    I can't settle for anything less than a Mac. I love the OS way too much and need so many of the apps that are Mac-only. So no way am I going to forget this and buy myself some cheap PC CrapTop.

    Unfortunately, if you cannot boot from the disc, it won't be possible to do any diagnostic tests yourself.
    It might be worth getting a second opinion. Is there an Apple authorized repair shop anywhere near you? If so, possibly you could take it there and see if they can diagnose it. You may need to pay a small fee for them to do this. But possibly someone might take a little more time with it and be able to give you a definitive diagnosis.
    I'm grasping at straws, but you might be able to try resetting the SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
    I don't know if this would help or not--there are not many things to do when the computer is unresponsive and you can't use the keyboard or a disc.
    Unless the problem was reported to Apple while the MBP was still under warranty, I don't think there is any way that Apple would be able to fix it under warranty. Did you ever take it in for any problem under warranty that might relate to its current situation?
    I don't know if you might be up for trying to fix it yourself. If you are, here is a site that might be of help:
    http://www.ifixit.com/
    You have my sympathy--this has to be an exceedingly difficult situation for you. I will continue to think about this, and will post back if anything comes to mind.
    Good luck!

  • Hi i have iMac G5 Power PC with dead logic board,when i turn it on screen is dead. Is it possible to recover data off it by hooking up via firewire to my newer G5 3.06Ghz with IntelCore

    Kia ora, hi i have an older (2003 or 4) iMac G5 Power PC 2GHZ - when i turn it on the screen stays dead but the light below screen comes on & i can hear fan (after a few mins on the fan gets noisy).I think the logic board may be dead & can not afford new one & I would like to recover some files & stuff from it and have heard you can recover stuff using a firewire cable so i got cable (firewire 400 to 800) but i am unsure how exactly to do it.
    Can anyone out there please explain how i might do it
    Thankyou very much
    ps my first post on mac forums so hope i got it right

    You can remove the hard drive from the iMac and put it in an external enclosure.  You could try using Target Disk Mode to transfer data.  Click on the blue link to get the instructions on how to transfer the data.

  • PowerBook 15"  Al not turning on (Logic Board dead)

    Hi,
    My powerbook has not been turning on since last morning. I went to get it checked at the apple care centre in Bangalore and they tell me its a logic board issue. Now this is something very strange for me. Last night it was working fine and I had just turned my pb off after work. When I tried to start it in the morning it just wouldnt turn on and now they tell me that the logic board had gone kaput. I cant understand how this can happen when there is was off the external power supply.
    Has someone been experiencing similar problem of the logic board just dying ?
    I bought it in April 2005.

    vibhanshu:
    I have not seen as many logic board issues with the 15", although if you go to the Search field at the top right of this page and type in logicboard, I am sure you will find you are not the only one.
    G3 and G4 iBooks have had much more of an issue, as have the 12" G4 PowerBooks. I am not such what causes it, although I am pretty sure it is not something that you did.
    Unfortunately, your computer is not of much use without the logic board, so I guess you'll have to bite the bullet and get it fixed. If you have AppleCare it should not cost you anything; if you don't, I'm not sure what the prices are in Bangalore.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.
    Good luck.

  • MacBookPro2,1 Firewire / Clock Battery Issue... maybe Logic Board?

    Hello,
    I have this MacbookPro 17" since late 2007.
    It has had the logic board replaced twice by Apple Service.
    This happened over a year ago.
    The cause at that time was that my hd suddenly was not working and after further diagnose it turned out to be the logic board.
    The same day I got it back from Apple Service Firewire ports were not working... so I had to wait for another 2 weeks and finally got it back.
    A couple of months later I noticed that the clock would reset to 1969 if I removed the battery and the magsafe cable.
    A couple of months later I noticed that the firewire ports didnt work at all. ( FW400 / FW800 ). I didnt have the 2 weeks needed for Apple Service to do a diagnose and another 2 weeks to do whatever it is they do to fix it so I had no choice and stuck with the problems.
    Now I finally got me another machine and can try and fix this. Any ideas?
    Thanks!!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you still under warranty? If so, Apple is obligated to fix these problems under warranty. Did you ever report back to Apple that you still had problems or get a case number?
    You probably have the same MBP that I do, since I bought mine new in September 2007.
    Regarding the FireWire ports, try the tips in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1317
    See if you can get them working again.
    Regarding the clock, it sounds like the backup battery on the logic board is dead or discharged, so you are dependent on the main battery and the power adaptor for keeping the time. The backup battery probably needs to be replaced.
    On general principles, it wouldn't hurt to do a PRAM reset and a SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
    These resets will return everything to default values, and sometimes will cure some problems.
    If nothing helps, then it sounds like your last logic board replacement is defective. I believe that both the 400 and the 800 FireWire ports are attached to the logic board, as is the backup battery for the clock. The battery can be replaced as far as I know, but I don't know if anything can be done about the ports.
    Good luck!

  • Where Can i buy a Brand New Logic Board for my Macbook Pro?

    My Macbook Pro (Mid 2010 13") logic board got fried, so i was just wondering if possible, where i could get a new logic board. Also, would the new 2011 i7 logic board (if purchasable), for the 13" as well be compatible with the chassis/body of my mac?

    Apple would be the main supplier of any replacement parts.

  • What logic board do I need

       Hi there, I got my brothers old macbook and was thinking of fixing it. I know its the logic board because we had it tested when it failed for him in the past and for some reason I've resurectted the idea of getting it going again. Its a A1226. Now, I've been looking for logic boards for prices just to get a ball park and Im willing to risk it. However,  I want to make sure I get the correct logic board. I need to somehow fire this thing up so I know exactly which processer it was. I'd run the serial # but the under belly is so scratched that I cant read it unless I find a magnifying glass. Any how, any advice on how to find out the correct logic board for this laptop. Would I have to open it up?  THanks for any help.

    Since your specs at the bottom say 1.5GHz, you need the logic board that goes with the 1.5GHz 12-inch PowerBook G4. You can buy these on eBay or from resellers that have them in stock.
    Logic boards along with LCD screens are the most expensive parts, of course, since they are the most crucial to its operation.
    Don't buy a 1.33Ghz, a 1.0GHz, or an 867MHz logic board.
    Apple has a flat-rate repair, but it is not necessarily cheaper. Depending on the condition of your PowerBook, inside and outside, the flat-rate may be bumped up based on "tiers." The flat-rate costs about $300 for "everything" (parts and labor) if all checks out and is approved by the Genius Bar and the subsequent techs at the Service Center.
    If there is an issue, it might cost more. Those, I don't have information on. (Price-wise).
    If you're gung-ho and want to replace it yourself, you have that option. Or, choose your own service center to do it for you. (TechRestore.com, MacService.com, etc.-- even a local "mom and pop" shop in your city).

  • Logic Board was replaced - Now Time Machine does not show previous backups

    Hi
    Bit desperate here.
    My Apple store changed my hard disk and the logic board along with it.
    I'm now aware that this means my MAC address has changed - which is what your Time Machine looks for when it tries to back up.
    So now the backups are failing, and I KNOW there's a HINT offered on macosxhints.com
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101&query=Time%2Bmach ine%2Blogic
    - but I have absolutely NO previous experience with TERMINAL and minute I try to re direct terminal to my Time Machine Volume : it tells me there is no such file or directory. It's all gobbledygook to me. I think the person that wrote it ASSUMED some previous knowledge of using terminal.
    The things I DO know are: My MAC address number, and my TM Volume is called The BIG BACKUP (not Time Machine). It doesn't
    Can anyone make this clearer for me, or indeed is there an easier way.
    I know I could just tell TM to change disk and just star afresh - but I'm under the impression that it's very uneccessary for me to lose all my previous backups.
    Hey, many, many thanks if you can help
    Simon

    Hello K.V.
    (I'm having to come back to this when I get a minute at the moment)
    Many thanks for your suggestions so far. Several things have occured:
    Firstly I did what you instructed in your last post, that seem to let me go on without any further errors - so I then when back to my desktop - dismounted The BIG BACKUP and restarted the whole mac, remounting the The BIG BACKUP. I went to the 'Back Up Now' commend to test it and it failed, sayind it could not find the file or directory.
    So this evening I started in terminal from scratch - when I got to the ls -al command I noticed that my old address was no longer in the list, it was on the line before the new address before (I also punched in the wrong mac address intially but spotted it and rectified my mistake .001f5beb34e5 being the correct one) as you can see from below it now says my old address is No such file or directory.
    Here is a copy of what happened

    Very confusing huh.
    To be honest now, I guess my prime concern is if I've made any damaging changes to things I don't understand or not - and I think it may be best if I accept the Time Machine starting afresh from square one by clearing the external drive and re-directing TM to it. I could live with this I guess, so long as it worked.
    What do you think?
    Many thanks
    Simon

  • TS4088 why is there a limit on 3 years? it should be all the MacBook Pro mid 2010 with symptoms, there should get their logic board changed for free, mine mac is 3 month late and i had this problem for over a year, but i first saw this article today :(

    it should be all the MacBook Pro mid 2010 with symptoms, there should get their logic board changed for free, mine mac is 3 month late and i had this problem for over a year, but i first saw this article today

    Hey Clintonfrombirmingham
    I called Apple technical support in Denmark, but with no positive reply.
    She couldn't do anything, and said that They had sent a recall Email about the problem and with their offer to repair the Macbook Pro, but I'd never recieved an Email about the problem. She wasn't in power to make an exception. It can't be true that i paid a lot of money, for a product that can't barely stand on its own feets, Apple didn't tell me that the product I was about to buy, would restart every 5 minute. and now when  they know the problem, they wont repair it? it just don't make sense for me. If a car seller discovers that all the brakes in a car he had sold, will crash after some years he will call all the cars back to repair no mater what. i just don't understand how Apple will make good service for their custumers, by extending the warranty from 2 to 3 years, but wont take the computers there is a little bit to old, 4 months will make the difference. i can't believe it.
    What can i do now? 
    best regards Oskar
