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.

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.

    Phone? E-mail?
    Your serial usually appears on the splash screen .... if you get to see that.

  • Help! I have had my iMac G5 fitted with new Logic Board but it doesn't work

    Help! I have had my iMac G5 fitted with new Logic Board but it doesn't work
    I have just had my iMac G5 First Gen 1.8Ghz fitted with a new Logic Board under the Apple Repair Extension Programme for iMacs.
    I got the iMac home from the repairers and switched it on and everything was working fine for about 2 hours and then all of a sudden the Error Page came up on the Screen (with a big On/Off Switch Logo) and it said I had to shut down.
    So I shut it down waited a few minutes and then tried to re-boot it but nothing happened. All that happended was the Power Light in the Right hand corner came on..but nothing else....
    Help! Any ideas what to do please?

    If you have an external firewire drive (it has to be firewire, USB won't boot on a Rev A), plug it in to the firewire port and turn it on, then boot your iMac and see if it shows on the screen.
    Have you tried to hit the eject (up arrow, the last button on the top row of the keyboard) button when you boot, perhaps the repairers left a disc in the drive? Then try and put your install disc in.

  • I've just got an iphone 4, with a new sim - although iam keeping the same number, my iphone keeps displaying no service??

    ive just got an iphone and new sim, im keeping my old number, ive registered my iphone on my p.c but my old phone and number is still active, whilst my iphone keeps displaying a "no service" where the signal bars should be. I think there is a problem with the sim - does anyone know for sure??

    Sounds like your new sim is not activated. Call your carrier, they will need the sim number on your new sim. It's a 20 digit number on the back of the sim.

  • Just got my MBP back from repair and VERY confused...

    Good Afternoon,
    Well, I just picked up my beloved MBP 2.2GHZ SR / 128MB Video Ram 8600GT from repair after a LCD / Logic board / Top case replacement under warranty.
    When I powered it up to test things, I went to System Information and my Mac stated it was a 2.6GHz SR / 256MB Video Ram 8600GT / 800Mhz FSB.
    Am I just really confused or did I get a serious upgrade wih this repair?
    Thanks in advance!

    maybe it was cheaper for apple to replace with an equivalent/better model than fix the old one, the warranty terms allow for this

  • Whine and mbp 1,83 ghz new logic boards

    I've seen at least 2 posts saying that 1,83 mbp's logic boards are being replaced due to the whine issue. Is that true? anyone had the logic board replaced and the whine actually stopped? I'm sorry if this is a repeated question.

    I second this. I bought mine the day before they did the price change. I am not having any issues with mine and very happy with the machine. I did't think it is worth the .17ghz to maybe get a problamatic machine. So I went to the store and asked for the price adjustment. They gave me $100 back. this is a good start to getting 1gig of memory added to my machine.
    cheers

  • 1st Generation iMac G5 with new main logic board but now no Bluetooth?

    Greetings:
    As an owner of a 1st generation iMac, I can finally report that my iMacG G5 is now working fine since the main logic board has been replaced because of bad capacitors.
    A NEW problem has been created. My internal bluetooth no longer works and is not visible in the hardware profile. I suspect that the Apple repair center may have removed my module or that it was attached to the old main logic board. On PC's running MS Windows (XP), there is a "hardware detect" routine.
    QUESTION: Can anyone tell me if the internal module is visible by taking the cover off? I cannot seem to find a photo of where or how the module is attached. I can see my Airport module. Regardless, the Apple repair center said to simply bring it back in and they would fix the problem. They indicated that it was a simple software fix. After trying many different software techniques, I still believe they somehow forgot that my computer had BT and it went back with my old logic board.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Jeff

    We discovered the problem. After taking my iMac G5 back to the Apple service center, I got to observe the technician remove my G5 cover and bluetooth module.
    The problem was due to the fact that the initial technician apparently did not realize he/she broke off the very small connecting pins on the module when he/she removed it from the original main logic board with the bad capacitors. They simply screwed it on the main logic board. They order a new BT module to replace the broken one.
    FYI: It is very easy to install the BT module on the main logic board as I observed. No soldering, etc.. The location is directly above the power supply but below the airport card. It is about the size of a postage stamp and is in clear view withou removing any parts.
    Thanks to All....Miriam...

  • 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.

  • Kernel panic.. with new logic board

    Hi,
    So I recently replaced my logic board after trying EVERYTHING to fix a somewhat frequently occuring kernel panic. Now however.. it has happened again.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I honestly feel like I've tried everything. Could it be bad RAM? I've changed the hard drive, done a fresh OS X install (perhaps its something in my settings from migrating my old stuff back over?), new logic board.. reset PRAM, every suggestion I could find.
    Here is the old discussion before I changed the logic board. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3902490
    Attached the latest crash log.

  • Can't get new logic board hint to work

    after days of trying to resolve my new logic board problem of my time machine back ups not being recognized through using the terminal as suggested, i am giving up for now. i will keep my external hd and the info on it and just back up my important stuff to dvds for now. Is there any other way to get the info off my external hard drive back up so that it would make sense to my computer with a new logic board. Any program, etc.

    I assume you are referring to this mac os x hint
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101&query=Time%2Bmach ine%2Blogic
    You need to know some basic unix knowledge to follow this hint. If you can't make it work there is no other way to do it. there are no programs for that either. you should start a new backup sequence. You can still access your old backups via browse mode. control-click on TM in the dock and choose "browse other TM disks".

  • 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.

  • Imac G5 needs new logic board

    Hi,
    My imac G5 was revving up quite a bit and acted like I was downloading something all the time. I thought it might just need the fans to be cleaned but I took it into the genius bar and was told that they guy "thinks" that I need a new logic board but isn't positive and would I like to look at the new imacs. ( I love looking at the new imacs but it's not in my budget). He said it would cost close to $800.00 to repair my imac. I edit video on it and it's also become the family computer. Any suggestions? Do I put the money into replacing the logic board? Do I put money into expanding the memory on my macbook pro that only has 2 gb of memory?

    Has it been shutting down unexpectedly?
    There was a repair extension program for some of these iMacs which suffered from defective capacitors on the Logic Board and the Power Supply. It's been closed since Dec. 08, but I've heard of people appealing to Apple Customer Service anyway and getting the repairs covered. First you should open the computer and determine if the capacitors on the Logic Board are swelling or leaking at all. If so, you might be able to convince Apple to do the repairs. 1-800-275-2273. If at first you get turned down, ask to speak to a higher level rep.
    Tell them how unfair you think it is that those who had the problem before the program closed were covered, and it was just your bad luck that your computer lasted a bit longer. You can also say that had you opened it up earlier, you probably would have seen the bad capacitor issue developing before the program closed. They are numerous little cylinders about 3/4 inch tall. The tops should be perfectly flat. No brownish gunk. Inspect it very carefully.You won't be able to look inside the Power Supply easily, though. If your iMac is not an iSight, it's very easy to open up. Just three screws at the bottom. Have a look here for illustrated instructions for your model. If it is an iSight, probably best not to try; a bit too complicated. Or you might just call the repair service and ask exactly why they thought it needed a new Logic Board. Did they see bad capacitors?

  • 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

  • Just got my computer back, reset my itunes and added new music. how can i sync my ipod with the computer as I do not want to erase what I have on my ipod

    Just got my computer back. How can I reset my itunes so it matches my IPod settings? I have my favorites and files on my IPod that I want to keep and when I try to sync it gives me the option to erase and sync with computer. How can I sync without loosing any music or files at all?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer.  Right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
