How to replace a MacBook Model# AT181 Logic Board?

The MacBook Model# AT181 Starts up with no display and the white sleep light is lit and I can't wake it up? Please help me if anyone know of a solution?

.. sounds like it's in hibernation.. try a SMC and a PRAM reset as you boot it up.

likely display inverter board.
did you get your inverter board replaced already?
Did you have a question?
If the diagnostic in shop indicates same, thats 1000X better than anyone can do online in "diagnosis" (not really genuine diagnosis of course)

or A1429 will be support in saudi arabia

Return the existing iPhone to the US if still in the return window then buy the model you want somewhere outside the US.
Only the A1428GSM and A1429CDMA are sold in the US.
Apple does not sell or offer the A1429GSM in the US.
Apple will not exchange an iPhone for a different model in a different country.

How to find black macbook model number from serial number?

My friend has a black macbook, 2007 or late 2006 I think he said. Genius bar told him the logic board died, so I am looking for replacement part. Is there a way to find the model number from that? Or what parts it would take?
Thanks.

That will give you the time when it was manufactured. From there, you can use an application like MacTracker to get the model information.

How do I find out if my logic board replacement by an AASP is legit?

I had my logic board replaced in a foreign country by an 'AASP' and I want to make sure i didnt get ripped off. How do I find out if it was legit or not?

Take it to an Apple store and ask them.

Keys normally stop working because of spillage of sticky substance (coffee, sugared tea, etc.) that causes the key to no longer move as it should.
Here is a video that shows how to replace the keyboard.

Will apple replace a faulty or bad logic board on my 2013 MacBook Pro?

I have a late 2013 13" macbook pro that has been diagnosed, by a non apple provider, with a bad logic board. The place where i took it suggested getting that confirmed with Apple. I have an appointment tomorrow at my local apple dealer...
but am worried that this practically new laptop is toast or going to be very costly since I don't have applecare!! Any help for me????

my late 2013 13" pro also has a bad logic board. The diag said it was a memory failure. I'm 3 months out of warranty and had it sent to the repair center for $280 plus tax. I don't feel like the logic board was defective I just didn't catch it in time. I tried a restore a few months ago and it worked better because i was in Yosemite beta since the developers beta and I thought the issues were because of the betas. It has constant panics and restarts but I was trying to get by until now it wouldn't turn on and disk utility said the hard drive was not mounted and it wouldn't let me restore It. maybe there are a few more people with problems then there should be so soon.

Macbook pro 2010 logic board upgrade?

I have a MacBook Pro (2010) and I was wondering; is it possible to replace the logic board with a newer one? (from the 2011) Will things like the the thunderbolt port work? If it is possible, can someone direct me to some information about this?

This is possible but you will have to make alot of part changes. To fit in the 2011 logic board into the 2010 macbook pro, you will need to change the display to a 2011 model because the cables are more (webcam, wifi cables) and also you will need to change the topcase if you want all screws to be in place. The 2011 topcase has a screw hole positioned just under the mic while the 2010 topcase has the screw hole positioned closer to the dc jack. If you choose to fit the 2011 board into the 2010 topcase, you may find that the screw hole underneath the mic will be in contact with components undearneath the logicboard. A quick fix might be to use a file to reduce the height of the screw hole to avoid this contact (Do at your own risk). Furthermore, you will need to replace components like the speakers, wifi/bluetooth board, cable & middle frame.
I hope this helps? Let me know how you get on

MacBook Pro's logic board

Hi,
Recently my MacBook Pro's 17" late 2007 A1229 graphics card died.
I bought a refurbished one on eBay.
The guy that solds the logic boards has tested it and it works (he got a whole refurbisched Mac parts company).
So with my old logic board, when I boot my Mac' screen shows white, the startup sound comes, and then it stops working.
With my new logic board (wich is tested and working!) when I insert the MagSafe power adaptor, a white light on the front side of the Mac (the button yoy need to push to open the screen) starts flashing, the ventilators starts rotating and the dvd-drive makes some noise.
So my Mac doesn't display anything on the screen with the new board, it just stays black!
I don't know how to fix this!
Everything is installed correct (getting my logic board out of the Mac and putting it back in it, i've done that three times!)
My Mac hardware works, because with my old logic board, it works!
The problem is, I can't test my Mac with my old board because I did a logic board exchange (it was 110$, a normal refurbished was 480$) so I can't install my old and test again..
Does anyone have some suggestions?
All help is welcome, I really need it!
Please don't tell me that my computer is useless and my money is gone..
Give me hope!
thanks.

RSD No More! Got my MacBook with updated logic board and heatsink

I've just got back from the Apple store with my freshly repaired MacBook. Since I dropped it in last week, a lot has happened. Most importantly, Apple officially recognised the 'MacBook Shutting Down Intermittently' (aka RSD syndrome) problem.
After having the repair confirmed to me by AppleCare, the guys and the Genius Bar told me that the fix is indeed a redesigned heat sink. They are now completely confident that the problem is fixed, unlike last week when they were replacing the logic board because they couldn't think it was anything else.
I'll see how it goes, but according to the official word from Apple, all is now well!
2GHz White Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Nice. Glad your MB came back good as new, and hopefully it runs that way for a good few years, and that mine comes back in the same order (RSD intensive care). thing is, considering the span of RSD examples throughout the week build range, i doubt very much that it matters at all, since the earliest and latest MB's have had examples go on the fritz. if indeed there is a newly designed heatsink, it would still take a while for MB's at large to see this change, since there are many many more that remain unsold in apple store and reseller alike. more likely many wouldnt see the change until they either buy a macbook much later, or have to get theirs repaired. either way ill be pleased if this is all true, and i wont tell my macbook about the betrayal i was plotting against it.

Macbook boot with logic board pins

So I have been given a macbook that has had liquid damage, a Macbook Unibody model number A1278 specificially. I took the entire computer apart and cleaned and dried all the parts, when i put it back together it still wouldn't power on. However, I have been playing around with shorting the pins on the logic board and got the fan to start spinning which I assume means that the logic board isn't fried. I was wondering if anyone new what exact pins you need to short for it to boot up?
Cheers, Toby.

The question has come up before in the forum. Most people in this forum consider a water-damaged system to be a lost cause, unless Apple has replaced parts. Even if systems can be made to work, water damage tends to resurface a few months later as unrecoverable shutdown.
ifixit.com has picture-guides for certain repairs, and maybe even the specifications you need. Or Google for those who have put far more effort into those specs.

2011 Macbook Air - Multiple logic board failures - possible causes?

I have a 2011 i7 macbook air - 7 months old. About a month ago I went to use the computer after allowing it to sleep and it was totally dead. Apple authorized repair center said the logic board failed and needed to be replaced. Fast forward a month and I finally get the machine back. It works fine for 6 hours, I put it to sleep, and soon as the screen went out, I hear a pop, fizzle, then the machine is dead again. The authorized repair center wants to replace the logic board again, which should get me up and running, but its not likley that that is the root CAUSE of the problem here, since it happened twice now. I suggested to them that perhaps the power adaptor, battery, or some other component is the issue and they don't think so. I'm located overseas, and every repair attempt takes 1 month b/c of parts (total joke if you're listening apple!!). My biggest concern is that they replace the logic board again, I'm out of commission for 2 months now, and it just fails again. Does anyone have any suggestions on the possible causes of this problem?
As FYI - I'm using the same power outlet and power strip with another laptop and haven't had any similar issues. Thanks for the help!

I have logic board problems too. I have had a late 2010 mac book air for 2 and half years. Its been a great machine in general - although it did go back within the warranty period for the track pad
Now it has logic board failure - symptons are the sound going and the battery is dead and it is unable to charge which means every time you put the power lead on the computer thinks it is starting from scratche.
I have been quoted over £400 for the repair! Like the above post I do not believe that this part should fail - and if it does then it is a major design problem and Apple should be doing something for us. I just dont know where to start.
I have used macs for 14 years and owned eight along the way. Most have them have lasted many years with full functionality the record was my G3 imac which was still working after 13 years.
I really cant believe the situation I am in and rather think I have bought my last mac!

How long until corrosion is visable on logic board

I was told that the logic board was corroded. , service guy said it was a water spill. never happened, honest to god, so perhaps condensation high humidity ?.how long would it take for the corrosion to become so bad and noticable white stuff that the MBP dies.?
did it get shipped to me that way?
I had mine 10 months indoors no water. average humidity.. dead
my brother lives in mexico and he has high humidity and his is fine 3 years later.
i don't understand.

Did you purchase new?
Corrosion does not form in normal conditions. Apple defines this as:
Relative humidity: 0% to 90% noncondensing
you can be in a very cold place, then enter a warm humid place and water can condense on the cold surfaces. Did the person that reported the corrosion provide you with pictures?
Here is a link to the operating specs of a MacBook Pro. I would guess the specs on yours are not too different:

How many times did you change the logic board?

Hello everybody,
I"m the formerly proud owner of an iBook G3. Solowly I"m getting tired of the logic board problem. I have AppleCare, but by now I"m sending my iBook twice a year for repair!
By now I had my iBook sent to Care 5 times due to the logic board problem.
Now I"d like to know if this is average, low or high ranking on the G3 exchange scale,
Who can beat 5?
Michael

Michael,
Mine has been back three times.
If your iBook's logic board goes out again, I recommend that you call Apple and, instead of talking to Customer Support, immediately ask for Customer Relations. Be prepared with dates and details of your iBook's repair history, tell them you need a computer that is dependable, and your iBook just isn't. Then ask for a replacement. It has been known to happen.
Good luck.

Mid-2012 Macbook Pro Retina logic board failure

I have a mid-2012 MBP Retina, 256 flash, 16 gb RAM and after 14 months of casual use, the computer shut off one night and smelled like it was burning (it was in a well-ventilated place). I took it in and the logic board had failed. I paid the $310 to get it fixed and it's still having some issues with shut down. After talking to two apple store representatives and discussing it on the phone with an another, their opinion is that these are prone to fail. Has anyone else had similar issues and have they had luck with Apple getting these failure-prone components fixed?

The $310 repair if done by an Authorized service technician should have had its own warranty. Furthermore, if you can claim anything under the Exchange Repair program, you may want to see about this:
http://www.apple.com/support/exchange_repair/
In the future always buy AppleCare to protect against manufacturer defects up to three years from computer's purchase.
That failure prone opinion is in part because users may not know how to treat the cables*:
http://www.macmaps.com/frayguide.html
Given that is in the gray line between user neglect and manufacturer defect your mileage may vary on getting it repaired even under warranty.
If you can prove that you know what you are doing, and calmly explain the situation you are more likely to get it repaired when under warranty.
We are just end users here. So we can't tell you what will or won't happen for sure, or guess Apple's policy.
