Does the new logic board in the macbook 13 fit the 2010 model

hey everyone, it would be great if i could find an answer to this and i think it might be negative, but it's worth a shot.
i was wondering if the logic board on the i5 or i7 on the macbook pro would be able to fit on the 2010 model of the macbook pro.
Currently I'm running the latest version of lion which is 10.7.2 with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 8 gigs of ram. I just upgraded the ram because even with just basic processing it was running more than max capacity with 4 gigs. To me that's absolutely insane seeing as that it was just resting.
I understand that the new logic board has the thunderbolt capability and that that port would be inaccessable to the current outfit that my body has as of right now.
I guess I'm just wondering if the board would still line up with the 2010 macbook pro model as far as the USB and other ports go.
p.s. if the apple community could rise up maybe and tell apple to release a free upgrade to the new system saying "OUR BAD, SORRY FOR THE PROCESSOR SCREW UP" that would be great. because i know so many people that have complained just like the windows vista users did
PLEASE FIX THE SCREW UP THAT WAS MADE WITH LION. I LOVE THE IDEA OF IT, BUT CAN'T STAND THE LAG AND HAVING TO REPAIR THE PERMISSIONS AND THE DISK ONCE PER MONTH.
oh yea, and if you haven't done that to improve the speed of your mac yet, do it, because it really does work. there are some forums throughout here that explain the details

Hi g,
In my mind, there is only one thing to do, and that is to bring it back to wherever you had the repairs done and have them fix it correctly under warranty. You should not have to pay for more repairs unless they can clearly demonstrate to you that there have been three completely separate issues which needed three different repairs.

Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

Can the newer logic boards still read the mac pro 1.1 2.66ghz duo core proc

i just bought a G5 and i am looking to upgrade it. I just bought the 2.66 ghz processors, and I am looking to buy a new logic board and was wondering if i bought a 2009 logic board would it still be compatible with the 2006 processors?

Unlike PCs (that stayed with one Hardware manufacturer year after year, and therefore did not change much of anything for decades) Mac hardware has been allowed to evolve over time. Macs have gone through several different processors from different manufacturers over the years.
It is a tribute to the superior engineering of the Mac Operating System that Apple has been able to extend and migrate Mac OS to accommodate wildly different hardware. Enormous incompatibilities tend not to appear all-at-once.
But change must eventually come. If you fancy running Mac OS X 10.6, it runs only on Intel Processors. The G5 is the last of the Motorola/IBM PowerPC processor series. The first was released about 1994 (PowerPC 601 in the 6100 series) and the last G5 was discontinued about 2006. There are a great number of people still running G4 and G5 Macs, generally using Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. There are still a number of fairly vibrant forums on this Hardware and Software.
But if you want to end up with a working Mac Pro, you need to start with a Mac Pro chassis, not a G5 chassis. As Kappy points out the Processors, drives, peripheral interfaces, chassis cut-outs, Power Supply and most importantly Airflow/Cooling (with processor-controlled fans) are completely different, and there is no sensible way to adapt a G5 chassis to intel processors.
Starting with a Mac Pro chassis, the upgrades will only be difficult instead of impossible.

Where can i buy a NEW logic board for my macbook pro 2012?

My video card has recently failed, in this model video card is sticked to logic board.
Does anyone know where i can buy a NEW logic board? Its a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro

"Where" questions are more easily answered if you give your approximate location. Especially important if you live in the US because there is a low-cost repair option for which you can ask.
If you are out of warranty and you live in the US, the most cost-effective solution is a depot repair. Instead of fixing the computer in an Apple Store, it is sent to a central refurbishment center and they fix anything that's wrong (other than damage to the case and/or display) for a flat fee of around US$325. It takes about a working week but it is worth it. All the posts here from people who have availed themselves fo this option were glowing.

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.

Change MacBook Unibody late-2009 logic board with a MacBook Unibody mid-2010 logic board

Hi everybody!
Is it possibile to change my MacBook Unibody late-2009 logic board (2,26 Ghz) with a MacBook Unibody mid-2010 logic board (2,4Ghz)? If yes, I have to change trackpad too?
Thanks in advance!

GPU is in the logic board too (take a look: https://it.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Unibody+Model+A1342+Mid+2010+Teardown/293 1).. So what's the problem?

Whine in new Logic Board

Hi,
I would like to know if the whine (CPU and powerbrick) is gone with the new logic boards.
My macbook whines and is getting a bit discolored at the trackpad so I was thinking if I could get rid of that unwanted noise.
Thanks

Yes, the GPUs in all Apple notebooks are soldered to the logic boards. They can't be replaced, upgraded or modified.

Got new logic board, now software is making me go through authorization?

i just got a new logic board installed on my 2007 MacBook Pro. now any time i open any of my software it makes me go through the authorization process (asking for serial #) - its as though with the new logic board the software actually thinks that its been installed on a whole different computer. just wondering if this is normal or if there is any way to get around it. I do audio production on my mac so I have literally hundreds of different plugins installed many of which have complex product authorization schemes. Thanks in advance for the help.

+*its as though with the new logic board the software actually thinks that its been installed on a whole different computer*+
That's exactly what's happening. Most modern authorization/activation routines look at the hardware giving specific values to various components. When something like the logic board is replaced, the application pretty much sees that as a different machine.
I believe Apple does have the ability to set the serial number in a new logic board... although it has to be done by Apple. This alone may not bypass the need to reactive some of your applications. It depends on the specific activation scheme the application is using. You're probably best off just re-activating your applications. I've never had problems getting software re-activated when dealing with the software vendors due to this situation. Fortunately, OS X itself doesn't require activation. As something of a techy... I've replaced motherboards on desktop systems regularly and even Microsoft has never given me a problem with reactivating Windows.
It might be a pain... but hopefully you'll just have to go through it once.

Login keychain not storing iChat password since new Logic board

A few weeks ago I had to take my MacBook Pro in for repair (the graphics chip died). At any rate, they fixed the issue by replacing the logic board. Now, however, it seems to have screwed up my login keychain.
Whenever I open iChat now I'm prompted for my AIM password. Even though I ask for it to be stored and remembered by keychain it is not. I have tried repairing the keychain, creating a new one, deleting/re-installing iChat, and even trying a brand new user account all to no avail.
So what gives? Has the new logic board permanently screwed up some settings on my MBP? Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks

no. I wasn't sure if optional installs offers ichat as an option. if it does you can use that instead of pacifists. it should work just as well. but make sure you reapply 10.6.2 combo update afterward.
What about me not being able to edit and save changes to my keychain items. Doesn't this imply a problem with Keychain?
do you mean you have problems with other keychain items beside ichat? on all accounts?
BTW, you marked my post solved. you shouldn't do that until and unless your problem is actually resolved. this tells other posters that your issue is fixed and disinvites further responses.
I dunno, the whole situation is strange. I have Google Notifier installed on my MBP and it was able to save its password to Keychain just fine.
Thanks

Will time machine do a full backup of external volume (extra storage) after new logic board?

I have a MacBook Pro running leopard, that just had the logic board replaced. I haven't picked it up yet, but I am told that my hard drive and data were not touched.
I have read Pondini's very helpfull info/site, so I know that time machine will want to start a new set of backups.
Here is my question, based on my setup: in addition to the internal HD, I have a firewire drive for additional storage of files. Time machine backs up both volumes to another, larger, FireWire drive
Now, after the new logic board, will time machine make a whole new copy of the external storage drive as well as the internal? Or just the internal?
Basically, I know time machine will think it's on a new machine, but will it treat the external storage as if it were new as well?
I would appreciate any help or advice you can give me. Thanks.

Still no answer? I do have the same trouble on my iMac G5 PPC with 10.5.8: I just replaced the MOB and Time Machine insists to create a new bkup! Attempted with "tmutil" command but doesn't work on my OS...it is really impossible to tell the machine to learn the new address? I DON'T want to believe it!
Tks for any help

Putting old Quicksilver 733 CPU in newer logic board (820-1342-B)???

I bought a Quicksilver logic board (820-1342-B) to replace my old 820-1276-A model. My question is this: Can I put my old 733 CPU, native to the 2001 Quicksilver, in the newer logic board which originally supported 867, 900, and 1ghz CPUs?
I'm thinking I need a CPU native to the logic board. Your thoughts are welcome!

I am using a G4 733MHz Silver Tower and I am wanting to upgrade before having to shell out the big bucks to purchase a new Mac, I found a new 1.6GHz processor on https://eshop.macsales.com, a reputable site I have used for years to keep Mac going. I am a graphic designer and primarily use my Mac for Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark, but know I am needing to add video and web editing to my repertoire and my current system can't handle these apps very well. My question is, does anyone know if I can upgrade my logic board/motherboard by simply putting a new one in, I mean will it even be recognized or work at all? F.Y.I. another site I have used for Mac parts is www.dvwarehouse.com. If anyone has done this with any success please share your experience or knowledge about this sort of thing, thanks.

New logic board, and new display, but now completely dead.

Hi guys,
I've got an iBook G3, running 10.3.9.
In December 2006, the logic board failed, so I bought a MacBook, because I didn't have time to be offline waiting weeks for Apple to replace the iBook's logic board.
After much badgering, Apple reluctantly replaced the iBook's logic board under the extended warranty program.
While the iBook was with the Apple repair store, they replaced the display for new as well, even though I didn't ask them to, and even though I wasn't charged for it.
I presume that was because the store discovered that the display was duff enough to be replaced under another extended warranty program.
When I got the "repaired" unit home, with a brand new logic board, and a brand new display, I turned it on, and it seemed to be working fine, so I turned it off, and continued to use my MacBook.
A few weeks ago, the second logic board on my MacBook failed (another long horror story entirely), so I began using the iBook for the first time since it had been "repaired" some six months earlier.
Almost immediately, the iBook began exhibiting a major problem, specifically that I'd be typing away, and suddenly the display would go black.
I could just about see the icons and documents on the screen, but the unit was unusable.
So I pulled restarts, full shutdowns, disk utility, zapped the PRAM, etc, all to no avail.
It seemed to be an intermittent problem.
For example, sometimes, from a cold start, the unit would work for two or three hours until the display went black.
Other times, I'd pull a cold start, and it would go straight to the black display.
By chance, I discovered that if I gave the iBook a shake, the display would come back on.
But then it would go black after a second or two.
And then with another shake, it would come back on for a second or two.
And then it would go black after a second or two.
And then with another shake, it would come back on, sometimes for a couple of hours at a time.
So I figured that it must be a cable which, during the installation of the logic board, and/or the new display, wasn't seated correctly by the technician.
I phoned Apple, and told them about it.
They said that because I had reported the issue beyond 90 days since the logic board had been replaced, it was no longer Apple's problem.
I explained to Apple that I hadn't used the iBook for six months, because I had a MacBook.
After much badgering, Apple has agreed to replace the logic board if it's faulty.
However, Apple has refused to replace the NEW display, even if that's also faulty.
Apple is also insisting that I have to pay all the labor charges.
Meanwhile, I've noticed that the iBook is now incredibly hot.
I mean, the MacBook is infamous for running hot, but this "repaired" iBook makes my MacBook feel like a block of ice by comparison.
I don't remember the iBook running so extremely hot before the "repair."
Which has made me notice that during the last few weeks, I've never heard the iBook's fan come on.
I presume that an iBook has a fan ?
Please confirm.
Therefore, another loose cable ?
Today, the display went black again, as usual.
So I gave the iBook a shake.
But this time, nothing happened.
No display.
No fan.
No hard drive spinning.
Just silent and dead.
What do you reckon, guys ?
Duff logic board ?
And/or duff display ?
And/or duff fan ?
And/or duff cabling by the technician ?
As far as I'm concerned, I don't see why I should have to pay for yet another repair, to correct hardware and/or workmanship which was so bad that after only three weeks of ACTUAL use since the "repair", the unit is now completely dead.
All opinions and advice gratefully received.
With thanks and best wishes,

Hi S,
Many thanks for your helpful and swift response.
I agree with you regarding the likelihood that these problems would have surfaced immediately during normal usage, regardless of how much or little time had passed since the repair.
As advised, I will inform Apple Customer Relations UK about the new developments.
Indeed, when I resubmit the iBook, I'll include a print-out of this discussion.
I agree with you about the fan.
Prior to the failure of the first logic board, I ran that iBook for YEARS, without noticing any heat issue.
Indeed, if there had been such incredible heat, then I'd have searched these discussion boards, and reported it to Apple HQ.
Therefore, the astonishing heat is definitely a new development since the "repair."
Consequently, I take on board your comments about the lack of a working fan since the "repair", which I shall also mention to Apple HQ.
As for running the Apple Hardware Test, the unit is completely dead.
The power cable is green, but the unit is now completely silent and black.
I also note your suggestions regarding the cable which connects the display to the rest of the unit, which I shall also mention to Apple HQ.
No repair sheet was ever given to me by the Apple Repair Centre (ARC).
Indeed, no receipt was ever given to me when I delivered the unit to the ARC, nor was any paperwork ever given to me when I collected the unit from the ARC.
However, Apple HQ can see on their screen that the logic board and display were both replaced for new by the ARC.
What else was and wasn't done by the ARC is a mystery.
I'll phone the ARC and ask for copies of any and all paperwork, so that I can submit it all to Apple HQ, which I note is your recommended option, rather than returning the unit to the ARC.
However, the complicating factor is that with the exception of the logic board, it is my understanding that Apple is denying any liability on any part of the "repaired" unit, including the brand new display.
If I understand Apple HQ correctly, they're now saying that all other hardware and labor costs will be mine.
I'm sure I could buy a WORKING second-hand iBook G3 for the same price as a repair, if not cheaper.
Therefore, perhaps I should return the unit to the ARC, and give them the opportunity to correct their previous workmanship, at their OWN cost.
Because as far as I'm concerned, the ARC had two customers during the repair: Apple and the end-user, as evidenced by the fact that the ARC has invoiced its first customer Apple for workmanship which was clearly not up to Apple's own standards, and the ARC has then delivered the unit to its second customer, the end-user.
In addition, regardless of Apple's 90 day warranty on repaired hardware, UK law includes the Sale of Goods Act 1979, and other relevant legislation: http://www.dti.gov.uk/consumers/fact-sheets/page38311.html
Furthermore, if the ARC is completely unhelpful, I could jump all over them, by writing to Apple HQ, with cc's to the UK editions of MacWorld, MacFormat, and MacUser magazines.
As advised, if the unit goes to Apple HQ, I will suggest that the unit is looked at carefully during disassembly, to see if errors were made during the ARC "repair."
I'm always polite when on the phone to Apple, because I love the company so much.
Indeed, even though during the last twelve months, I've been having very bad luck with the iBook, as well as with a MacBook which has exhibited so many problems that Apple has now agreed to replace old for new, I still love my Mac.
And joy, sweet joy, I've just seen on the TNT courier's tracker website, that my replacement MacBook, built by Apple in Singapore, then flown to Arnhem in Germany, then flown to Northampton UK, then delivered to Heathrow UK, left the Heathrow depot 30 minutes ago, for delivery to the customer.
And the sun is shining.
Thank you again for all your kind and wise advice.
With best wishes,
Michael

Just got my MBP back with a new logic board but...

Hello all
I just got my laptop back yesterday. They did the logic replacement due to a bad graphics card (nvidia) I was not under warranty. I was having the Videocontroller error on the AHT. I just ran the AHT today via the apple disc. It came up with 4SNS/1/40000000:TGOD-86.500. I also noticed my superdrive does not accept blank disc media, it spits them out after a few seconds in. It still install and read programs off it. Burning discs is just the issue. I posted that issue here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12410595#12410595 But prior to the new logic board, it recognized the discs as "blank"
Please any help would be appreciated.
Marc

I had an issue whereby only certain DVDs were usable.....some were, and some weren't.
My MBP went in for repair and the SuperDrive was replaced under my AppleCare extended warranty.
You'll likely need your SuperDrive replaced.
If I didn't have Applecare, I'd be up Shyte Creek by now with some very costly repairs on my September '08 MBP.
BTW, My MBP had two logic board failures in its second year of ownership which were replaced under my AppleCare warranty.
