Logic Board Chipset for "macpro2,1" ? Possible Harpertown boot on it?

Could someone please shed some light on what chipset does (macpro2,1) logic board version # 2 have? Has anyone had a successful Quad Harpertown boot on this logic board?

I'm actually building a custom mac pro. I bought a version 2 logic board. Have everything else set in place. I would like to install Harpertowns, just iffy about it. Intel's site states 5000X chipset compatibility for the Harpertowns. Hmmmmmm... Do you have a "macpro2,1"? And if so and if possible, could you please confirm the chipset with CPU-Z? All help is very much appreciated. Thank you kindly.

    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?

  • How Do You Identify Logic board revisions for MDD FW800?

    I have a logicboard, the CPU board, and the heatsink for a PowerMac G4 MDD FW800 DP 1.25 that I want to sell, but I can't figure out what Revision it is (A, B, C) or if it is 133MHz or 167MHz. I do not have the computer (bought for parts) they came from anymore but I have my own MDD FW800 DP1.25 I could consult. Logic boards, I'm discovfering, don't make for easy reading--can anyone assist or point me to a "Logic Boards 101" text?

    Hi-
    The following should help to ID the logic board.
    For the FW800 1 ghz board, the part is identified by looking at the serial # ON THE BOARD.
    Look for one of the following code combinations in the
    last 4 digits of the serial # : NME,P2X,P3E,P3G,P3U,P7P,P8E,
    PFD,PFF,PFG,PFT
    This would be the 133mhz model.
    For FW800 multi processor boards, the part is identified by looking at the serial # ON THE BOARD.
    Look for one of the following code combinations in the
    last 4 digits of the serial # : NMF,P2Y,P3F,P3H,P3V,P7Q,P8F,
    PFE,PFH,PFJ,PFU
    This would be the 167mhz model.
    For the MDD 167mhz, rev A, look for one of the following code combinations in the
    last 4 digits of the serial # MXJ,ND0,ND9,NE2,NE8,NEV,NEX,NFA,NFG,
    NG1,NKT,NNR, NNS,NNW,NRC,NWK,P8S,PG2,PG3,PG4,PG5,PG6,PGI
    For the MDD 133mhz, rev B, look for one of the following code combinations in the
    last 4 digits of the serial # : NF9,NG1,NNR,NRC,PG7
    For the MDD 167mhz, rev. C, to determine which 167 MHz logic board is installed in the computer, check the AirPort Card connector at the edge of the board.
    If there is a 2-pin fan connector on both sides of the AirPort Card
    connector, it is rev.C. Otherwise use rev. A.
    Look for one of the following code combinations in the
    last 4 digits of the serial # :MXJ,ND0,ND9,NE2,NE8,NEV,NEX,
    NFA,NFG,NG1,NKT,NNR,NNS,NNW,NRC,NWK,P8S,PG2,PG3,
    PG4,PG5,PG6,PGI

  • Logic Boards replaced- for HALF the cost of Apple's service

    Instead of paying the $600+ Apple charges for replacing logic boards- take note. I got the following response a few months ago from DWD57 when I figured out my logic board croaked. I sent my iBook in, and they replaced the logic board. It is acting up now, but they have a 6 month warranty, so I'm gonna send it back. At any rate, $350 is better than $600 and it will buy you at least another half a year. They were quite reliable.
    Re: iBook G4: crash, can't boot, loud fan (?) noise
    Posted: May 6, 2006 6:29 PM. DWD57 in response to: knowmoore
    It's the logic board.
    Don't waste your time with Apple service.
    Send it to http://www.dttservice.com/ibookg4.html
    They will replace the board for $345 plus 6 months warranty.
    Turn around was 1-2 days.
    The iBook works fine since they did the repair.

  • Can logic board be at failure if I can boot the machine?

    My 8800GT went kaputt (screen jagged up and crashes during boot under OS X) so I replaced it with GTX285, which only worked for 2 hours and then machine shut down and didn't power up again with 285 in. But I could still power up AND boot Windows with 8800GT, even if the screen is all jagged up. (Mac OS X doesn't boot, it crashes during boot with 8800GT).
    I take it to the apple store in France/Lyon and they tell me they think it's the logic board which has failed. They'll order one, and try, and if it works, I pay, if it doesn't I don't pay.
    I told them that the logic board couldn't have failed since the machine boots into Windows without any issues, and I can use the machine on Windows. It recognizes both CPU's and all the RAM, I even did a Geekbench test in Windows.
    What I suspected was Power Supply but they said Power Supply is fine. But checking power supply is a long procedure, almost takes an entire day to watch and record all the voltage outputs. It's not a simple task, which I highly doubt they did.
    Now, my question is, Can a Mac Pro boot into Windows and be usable with a failed logic board? Have you ever heard of such a thing? I could even use that machine in Target Mode from my MBP. 99% a working Target Mode means all the I/O on the machine is working perfectly fine.

    Bowker, yes within limits the slot loading logic boards (350 - 500mhz) are reasonably interchangable. The 600 and 700mhz ones don't seem to fit in slower machines, due to a different shaped heat sink on the video chip. Why are you swopping? You will not notice much difference between a 400 and 500mhz, I swopped between a 350 and 500mhz and honestly there's very little difference. Three important things if you do decide to go ahead.
    1 make sure that this board works before purchase
    2 replace the PRAM battery while you have your iMac in bits
    3 if you are going to run OSX, make sure that the new logic board has been flashed with the 4.19 firmware.
    hope this helps

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

    Just curious to know what chipset the my Mac is using.
    Extra details: its the 2.5 GHz dual core entry level model.

    Is this not what you asked?

  • Possible Logic board probs

    Hi All
    A Friend of mine has a White Macbook 1.83GHZ and there is an issue is that it sometimes shuts itself down! Best guess from the Apple techs was that the logic board is toast but this was only a guess.
    Could there be any other reasons as apple wanted nearly £400 to replace a new logic board.

    Most likely cause IMO would be an overheating CPU. So, tell your friend to fish out the restore media that came with the system. Find the one that has something about Apple Hardware Test on it. Tell them to run that. The extended test. After letting the system sit for an hour or two to cool off. It might be that it's a simple case of a fan not performing up to spec, which would be considerably cheaper than a new logic board. It's also possible that the thermal grease needs to be reapplied to the CPU and GPU, but that's no small undertaking, so hope for the fan issue.
    Seems like kind of a stretch to call those people techs when they're just tossing out some near catch-all component.

  • Logic boards for sale on ebay, anybody tried them?

    So Apple does not want to fix our faulty macbook pros (which don't qualify for the nvidia timed bomb), and I'm not going to pay thousands just to get that peace of junk work again and sell it for half that price!
    I, however, did some search on ebay and found so many logic boards that could replace my faulty one, the sellers claim it's all new and are authentic, but how come they got it in the first place!?! anyone had a successful experience with one of those sellers?
    Otherwise should I send my Pro to the states to get the logic board replaced for free since the local apple retailer says it's not included... bla bla... so does it work that way? please help

    Boomer, thanks for your reply. The reason why I am asking is that I read somebody's story on this forum that lives in chile or colombia or something, and his local apple retailer told him they can't replace the board in which nvidia's issue is not involved... then he called apple of the US and complained, then they told him they'd fix it for free if he lived in the states or at least send them the laptop... which he couldn't do. So I thought that would work for me, hopefully?
    About ebay's sellers, here are some of my findings:

  • Swaping Macbook pro 2.16 Core 2 Duo logic board for 2.33?

    Looks like I have a dead Macbook pro logic board, waiting for a phone call from the Apple with diagnosis. It's a 2006 Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz 128mb ATI. As the title states, can I swap the dead board for a 2.33 core 2 duo with 256mb ATI? Same form factor. I would think there won't be any problems.

  • Looking for inverter pin out on G4 20" logic board side

    regardless, I need a picture or detail of the inverter connector on the logic board side for an iMac G4 1.25ghz (usb2.0). I have found grainy pics on the net but nothing where I can tell what color is what pin. I need to figure out where the yellow and orange wires go. I believe yellow tells the inverter to turn o or off and the orange is for brightness control.
    If anyone could help me out it would be great.

    Did you have access to a service tech's view of the iMac G4 Service Manual in pdf?
    Not sure if there is an image in there large enough or of the correct junction to help.
    Since I haven't looked closely at the logicboard in my iMac G4s, I'm not sure what
    the detail would look like. The iMac 17" 1.25 USB 2.0 is very similar in build; other
    than the graphic support, display size, weight, and perhaps power supply output.
    If a service manual would be of help, email me. I may be able to allow you access
    for a limited time if that could help. The whole file is in pdf & is about 16.8MB, if you
    have a gmail or other high-ceiling mail, someone could send just one image to you.
    Well, maybe I could get a snap of the correct page if I knew what it was exactly
    and did a screenshot of a portion; the actual file won't upload, a sample pg may.
    I don't see a detailed image in my pdf service manual...!

  • Logic board can you fix it you'r self or do it for less than $200

    help in i need the logic board fixed for less than $200

    I've had the logic board in my MBP 3,1 replaced twice, both covered by AppleCare. The first one was a failure which was video related, but they swore it wasn't the NVidia failure. That was almost a year ago at the end of December 2009.
    The most recent logic board replacement was due to a repair tech error. I had my LCD replaced because of backlight issues and the Apple Care was within 4-5 weeks of expiring (at the end of July/early August 2010). The tech accidentally replaced the 1920x1200 LCD with a 1680x1050 one, and then they had to order the correct one as a replacement, so I had to use it with the wrong LCD. When the correct one came in, the inverter on the logic board had adjusted itself to the lower power of the 1680x1050 LCD and wouldn't power the higher res LCD properly, so they had to replace the logic board again to get it working right. ranted, that last one would have been an Apple expense had it not still been under Apple Care, since it was their error that caused the problem.
    Having stated that, if your MBP only has a 1680x1050 display (or lower) you might be able to get a working logic board from someone who had the same issue as I did in August. Of course, according to the documentation I got from Apple on my repairs, the cost of the replacement logic board for my system was about $1200, so it is a bit above the $200 limit you are setting, and based on the cost I was informed, I doubt you will find a working one in your price range...

  • Macbook Pro Mid-2012 Logic Board replacement, Apple Dragging feet?

    First some background:
    I have a macbook pro 13" Mid-2012 non retina covered under applecare until Jan. 2016. Starting in late march, i had noticed some performance issues but never took it in as the issue would subside within a day or two. Going into the final two week of my college semester, the macbook started freezing and tacking almost 5 minutes to boot. Suddenly it would take 5 tries just to get it to boot. due to this, i had been unable to get the time machine backup to work as it would freeze for 12 hours on average.
    So thenI took my macbook pro into the local authorized apple service center (on April 29th) as i suddenly got 'open error 5: input output error' errors and my mbp wouldnt boot at all. When i spoke to the servicer, he and I agreed that at minimum the hard drive was failing. The servicer made a time machine backup of the data on the hdd and got the backup on my external drive. He asked to keep the external drive as it has a partition that is a USB install disk of the latest Mavericks. Soon after he got the data backed up, the hard drive showed signs of failure to happen soon. So we agreedto have him replace the hdd. He hoped to have my macbook to me by May 5th. Well on May 5th, i got a call from him that with the replacement hard drive, the computer still had similar issues and was able to track it down to logic board issues. We agreed that since he had the macbook pro already and since it was applecare covered, we should go ahead and replace the logic board. Anyways, he ordered a new logic board from apple last monday (May 5th, 2014). I called on Thursday for an update and the servicer was frustrated with Apple that something is going on and he hasnt received the part as Apple usually gets him these parts within 1-2 days of request.He said he will call me once Apple gets him the part as he will get on the repair once the part comes in.  He hasnt called me back yet.
    This is rather frustrating for me as my macbook had all my college files on it and this problem happened right before college finals (i technically lost about 2 months worth of web design files and class files) where much of what needed for finals was on that computer. if he could have gotten it back by the 7th as he'd hoped, i would have been fine.  Instead, i was forced to go back to my PC laptop and try recreating some of the files that were made by mac only applications into something similar on windows. i was unable to recover the web design files as they were on the macbook and i couldnt remember right off which folder it was in. So i had to scrape together things to be able to submit for my finals so i wouldnt totally bomb the course. My web design instructor understood how frustrated I got from losing all that work and having to settle for a final design that just met the requirments rather than the one on the mac that was well past it.
    He is not sure whats going on as the last time he ordered a logic board for the same model, he had it by the end of business the next day. He is apoligizing for everything . I am not frustrated with him, rather I am frustrated with Apple as they had recommended me to take it in ASAP, yet they are seemingly dragging thier feet on getting him the parts.
    On top of this, I am helping a neighbor modernize her business website, and am doing a project with the state unemployement office to help them redo thier videos. Both of these are things i would always use my mac for as it is like 5x faster than my pc on this stuff. It's more than just an inconvience now. I need my mac badly as the PC is just not fast enough to do what i need in the itme i am given (which i why i switched to mac as my primary computer).
    Is this common for Apple when it comes to logic board replacements for macbook pros or what?
    Has anyone else had this issue?

    Applecare was no help at all. I called and did the complaint. They confirmed that it is registered to me and everything but essetially told me that they cant give me answers as to what is taking so long. They knew a repair was in progress but wanted to set me up with an appointment at an apple store? (the nearest Apple retail store is Billings which is 240 miles away, or about 4 hours). i tell them its at the repair place and they go on to tell me they can send me a box to mail it in and have it reapir by them.. They are trying to shift the blame to the AASP and his rep. But he said he has been trying with very few answers from Apple as well

  • Macbook logic board, restart, exchange

    hi everyone, as of last weekend, i became a happy owner of a black macbook....that is until when the weekend ended. that's when i discovered these forums.
    unfortunately, i became a part of a 'growing minority' of ppl who have the random restarting problem, vertical lines, and sudden shutdowns. i spent all of last night researching this issue and found out two words that have become the kryptonite of macusers....logic board.
    today i stumbled across some pretty interesting information about the logic boards. not sure about the source of the information but it's food for thought nonetheless. i had my macbook for 3 days until the random restarting started happening. prior to that, i had no problems with any whining, mooing or heating issues commonly associated to the early release of the macbook. i came across this http://news.softpedia.com/news/Apple-Acknowledges-MacBook-Whine-And-Offers-Logic -Board-Replacements-31384.shtml
    which states: Apple is now providing logic board replacements for the whining MacBooks with the expected time for repair being ten days after the machine has arrived at an Apple certified repair center.
    i'm not sure if these mooing machines had the restarting problem but if they didn't, the 'new' logic boards are in need of change once again. i think this is important b/c if this is the case, all macbooks in production will sooner or later experience the same problem that is plaguing the rather large minority of macbook owners.
    so, i'm left with the dilemma of exchanging my macbook for a new one or just get a refund altogether. i've read that ppl who have got new logic boards were left with the same problem only a short time after words meaning the logic boards they are using to replace the 'faulty' ones are the same ones being used in production.
    i'm not sure if this is a case of lemons or if every macbook is a ticking time bomb. if i'm not mistaken, it was only released in may.
    i have a week 27 black macbook. failed after 3 days of normal use. i just don't want my second machine to crap out on me on the 15th day and have to worry about repairing it indefinately. thoughts?

    I have what I can only describe as a lemon. It discolored, trackpad button broke, and whining started within a month of owning it. After 3 weeks in repair, it came back without having the logic board replaced, which was supposedly the reason it was on hold for 2 of the 3 weeks.
    At this point, I called AppleCare, talked with a guy, and ended up going into an Apple store 2 hours away from my home, and instead of fixing it on the spot like the AppleCare tech said they would, the "Genius Bar" techs kept it for a week, waiting for a logic board that they would actually PUT IN the unit this time around.
    It just came back yesterday, and had the same whining problem. Apparently, replacing the board did nothing at all. I just decided to go with QuietMBP at the expense of some battery life to keep things quiet (10% false bottom on CPU activity at all times)... Chuggin' along just fine for a day, then just a few hours ago, it started to randomly shut off. I turned it back on a few times, but it would turn itself right off again. The unit was **** hot, too.
    I ran a diagnostic and it turns out a fan failed on the logic board. Hence the auto-shutting-off due to high temperatures. Fantastic.
    To summarize: I had the MacBook for 1 month, sent it back for repairs for 3 weeks, got it back (w/o a whine fix) for 2 days, left it at an Apple Store for 1 week, got it back (w/o a whine fix) for 2 days, and now a fan is dead. To top it all off, one of the Geniuses at the Apple Store said I failed their memory test, so my 3rd party RAM is bad as well.
    Suffice to say, I am going to attempt to get a replacement, since a refund isn't do-able as I already spent more than $500 in software liscenses for Mac-only software...
    You're not alone in your woes.

  • Can I use a 12" logic board in a 14" iBook?

    Hello,
    Here's what could be a stupid question - but I'm going to ask it anyway!
    Will a logic board from a 12" 800 Mhz G3 white iBook fit into (and work in) a 14" 800 Mhz G3 white iBook?

    I would say that it won't work, based on the fact that macrecycling.com lists logic boards specifically for the 14-inch model:
    http://mac.macrecycling.com/logic-board-800mhz-ibook-g3-14-p-100172.html
    If they are interchangeable, it would seem that their listings would reflect that fact.

  • Can applecare be extended with new logic board

    My Imac is with apple having a new logic board fitted for the second time and before that they replaced the computer. Since my cover runs out in August 09 has apple been known to extend the cover when replacing the logic boards, if so how do you go about it.

    If your iMac is still less than a year old, you can purchase the extended AppleCare out-of-pocket. If you already have an extended warranty, then you can no longer extend it any further.
    Technically, replacement parts (such as a logic board) can have longer warranties than the rest of the computer. This is because replacement parts are covered by either a 90-day warranty, or the remainder of the limited/extended warranty, whichever is longer. This means that if you had a logic board installed on the last day of your warranty, the logic board would still be under warranty for another three months even after the computer's warranty had expired.

Maybe you are looking for
