Logic Board installation

My genius bar diagnosis was that my flat panel G4 iMac has a problem with its logic board (diagnostic consultation at counter).
If I were to acquire an old iMac that was the same could I salvage it for its logic board? Is this something that I could find instructions how to do? I have replaced hard drives and dvd components in other macs and can follow instructions but would like to know whether this is beyond an amateur's capability. I also thought perhaps I could look on ebay for the part. Is there a better way of describing/specifying the logic board part.
I look forward to hearing from anyone on this. I do not want to spend about $500 by sending it to the repair shop, which was the provisional estimate.
Regards, Ella from Indianapolis

Were you able to get any sort of rise out of the iMac when booted
from the OSX installer/boot disc #1, as suggested in the other thread?
[Some keyboard commands have been said to not work in older Macs
when using the new aluminum keyboard, so to try another is suggested.]
Your iMac G4 would be more readily identified if you posted the
original configuration information, including date of manufacture,
display size, hard drive capacity, etc. The serial number you list
indicates the item was bought in April 2002, according to Support.
(The serial # can be entered into a box in the main Support page.)
An authorized service tech could probably pull up the proper part
number(s) from a database, by using a serial number. Each series
of iMac G4 (700/800/1.0/1.25) with processor and graphics, differ
from each other to some extent, require a specific LB part number.
Service techs also may have access to service manuals with the
exploded-view and these include part numbers of all pieces inside.
A company who specializes in portable and compact Macs may
be able to help you; one such as wegenermedia.com in SC perhaps
may be able to, as they also resell their own refurbished ones and
fix most every portable. Maybe they could offer a suggestion...?

Horror after new logic board installation.

Hello,
I have an older 2008 MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz 17" computer which after years or erratic behaviour (overheating and black screen after that) forced me to buy and install new logic board. I've done it myself due to my extensive (unfortunately) experience in baking the old board. All went well. The computer booted however it took very long time to actually load the system. After 20 minutes or so I interrupted this and switched off the system. After switching again it booted quicker and loaded the system as normal. Long story short. All the components register properly under system profiler. However both firewire ports don't mount my external hard drive. The drive works perfectly with other computers. The drive (Lacie) when connected to either port (400 or 800) spins up and indicates connection made (blue light is on). I can even hear it mounting but it never shows up on the screen. The computer literally doesn't see it even after Finder relaunch. I've followed all the usual resetting procedures found on the internet with no results. Same problem with ethernet. It shows in the system profiler, after connecting cable computer sees it but no internet connection is made. The network setting says: self-assigned IP ... and shows orange indicator. I never had any of these issues with my old logic board. Again here I've done all the resetting with no results. Before coming to this forum I've spent the entire week trying to figure it out.
Can somebody please at least point me in the right direction as to what should I do.

This is after replacing logic board with new one.
Actually there are no NEW 2008 MBP logic boards. Apple stopped having them made sometime in 2008 or 2009. All that are available now are used, reconditioned and or left over stock (but I doubt that). Seeing as the 2008 model had a recall for failed nVidia GPUs all of them have been baked and or reflowed.
So it seems the current replacement 2008 LB you have is also faulty.

Thermal Paste Thermal Tape Question Logic Board Installation

Howdy, I have a thermal paste question. Laptop in question: Powerbook G4 1.5ghz Bluetooth V 2.0. When installing the logic board, I know your're required to use the silver colored thermal paste on the main processor and it's heat sink. On the other chip however, ( I assume it's the video chip, it says Motorola on it), the original techs appear to have used something black, and it is thicker, and harder to remove and appears to be cut to size. My question is,...what is the black stuff used on the other processor with a copper heat sink? Is it black thermal tape, cut to size and if so, where do you buy it from? And do you apply a piece of tape on the video processor and on the copper heat sink? Or do you apply the thermal substance on only only one part either the video chip or the copper heat sink?

Logic board replaced...asking me to reinstall OS X Lion, but stuck on "loading installation information" for 4 hours. What to do?

I had to have the logic board in my 7 month old iMac replaced due to the fact that my now exboyfriend put a firmware password on my iMac remotely and I couldn't get into my computer. I took it to the Genius Bar and they replaced the logic board so I wouldn't lose any of my files. I just got it back and when I turned it on, it is asking me to reinstall OS X Lion. So, after hitting continue, a box comes up telling me that they have to verify the computer's eligibility with Apple and that it is "loading Installation Information". I've been stuck on this screen for 4 hours, at a 18.25 mbps download speed. What do I need to do? Tried searching forums, but nothing really gives an answer.

Take it back to the Apple Store and make them fix it.

Problem with Logic Board in a Macbook Pro 15" 2011 in Argentina

Hi I am from Argentina and I am reporting a problem I've had a few weeks ago:
I was working with my computer (MacBook Pro 15 inch Late 2011) and it suddenly stopped working; the screen was frozen. I proceeded to restart it, but it couldn't enter the operative system, showing a gray screen.
Given this huge problem, I took my MacBook Pro to an authorized support centre in my country (Mac Station, 1184 Ayacucho , Buenos Aires - Argentina). The people there told me that the Logic Board was damaged. For this reason they set a budget of 2.440 dollars for the replacement part – plus the installation cost of 120 dollars. They were trying to charge me the equivalent to a new MacBook Pro model MGXC2LL/A purchased in the USA.
On the web it is documented that the 2011 MacBook Pro has recurrent failures on the Logic Board. How can it be that the total cost of repair in my country is five times the cost of repairing it in the United States? I think their official resellers in Argentina are taking advantage of us.
How I can get in touch with Apple support or someone who can give me a reason for that cost? Can I recieve official Apple answer in this comunity?
In advance: I haven't got Apple Care because Official Reseller from Argentina said me that Apple had discontinued in South America.

Imac late 2006. Is it my logic board?

Ok so I tried everything and its about to be a year. so ill just start from the beginning so around this time last year I Believe it was on Christmas eve or before it anyway's I decided to buy mac OSX snow leopard because my mac was still running on tiger so I went out to buy the disc etc and when I get home back up all my files an restart the computer and boot from the cd cause I was going to do a clean install I wipe out my hard drive and then when I go to install it I see a message saying I cant install it on this computer because I don't meet the ram requirements. and I was sort of stupid cause I didn't remember I was still running on 512 Mb of ram that came with my mac so now I have my computer wiped and I get a bit mad so I go to the apple store and they tell me its not really a big deal all I need to do is to buy at least 2 gigs of ram and I will have no problems installing it so he gives me a paper saying what ram I need to buy for my computer. so I go to fry's and buy a patriot 2 gig DDR2 SDRAM 667 MHz PC2-5300 unbuffered and all the stuff that makes the ram compatible with my mac so I go home open the ram access doors for the first time but before that the guy at the apple store showed me how to do it and there was an article on apples web site. after I put it in and re place the 512 Mb that came on the top slot I turn it on and and cross my fingers to hope it works and I get to the installation screen and let it install after 30 min or so I come back "installation complete" I was happy it worked and everything was fast huge upgrade from being stuck with tiger. so about 1 in a half month later I get on my mac and I hear 3 beeps and I start freaking out so I go on apple web site with my iPod and there I learned that the 3 beeps meant bad ram. so I go to the Apple store and they tell me patriot doesn't really work well on IMac's so I go to fry's and get a new 2 gig but this time a Kingston. I get home put it in (same slot) turn it on and it works! so about 2 months later I'm thinking I want to upgrade my computer to 4 gigs but then one day I turn on my comp and same thing! so I go to fry's get 4gigs (2: 2gigs) get home and this time I install for the very first time a ram in the bottom slot ( so now I got 2gig on top and 2 gig on bottom slow) turn on the computer. and..... beep.....beep......beep the same thing I have got these past months 3 beeps( and if your wondering it is the right ram and all) so at this point I don't know what to do so I take the ram out. and I do nothing a few weeks later I go to fry's to get some of my money back because it was like 50 dollars and get just a single 2 gig get home put it in and it beeps for a tiny sec then suddenly stops and I see the apple logo. after a few weeks it did the same thing but this time I took out my 2 gig and let it sit out side and like one day later I put in the ram it came with 512 and it worked but it was really slow. so one last time went to the apple store and the guy told me it was a bad logic board and that it would be pricey to fix it. so after that from that day till this day Wednesday, December 21 my mac just turns on when it wants to and doesn't turn on and gives me 3 beeps. around September of this year I had my mac turning on successfully with no beeps running on 512 Mb of ram until on Oct I turn it on and 3 beeps. my 2 gig of ram the month before that got chipped of by the clips on my iMac( and by the way all this time I have not been forcing it to go in etc and adding to much force to get it damaged. so now basically my mac could go for 3 weeks then one day you can turn it on and others were I'm stuck with 3 beeps. and even some times I turn it on it does 3 beeps for one round and suddenly out of no were stops and boots up. I really like this mac although I cant upgrade past snow leopard but its the only good computer I have right now cause when this computer acts up i have to use my stupid slow windows vista laptop, and this is my last chance to see if anyone could help me cause I tried everything Excuse me from my grammar and spelling but I want to try and make this as quick and legible as I can.
Thank you very much for your time and Merry Christmas!

New Logic Board - Time Machine wants to create a new backup

This has me stumped. I just got a new hard drive and logic board from Apple. Plugged my external hard drive into my computer, turned time machine off and 'Entered Time Machine' to copy files over back to my computer. All worked as advertised.
Once I had some of my files copied over, I went to turn time machine on. Time Machine informed me that I didn't have enough space on my hard drive (it wants ~94 gigs free and it has 30 free, but it should have been able to delete the oldest backup, free up some space, and we should have moved on). At no point did it ask me if I wanted to reuse the backup or not.
I then wondered if it needed to get further along the backup process before prompting me to reuse the volume or not. So, I excluded like 98% of my hard drive and made the backup ~3 gigs. The backup happened, but now in my Backups.backupdb I have a MyComputer which contains all of my old time machine backups, and a MyComputer_2 which contains this last backup.
I trashed the MyComputer_2 folder and 'Entered Time Machine'. It pulled from the correct place and I saw my backups trailing back into history, but apparently I no longer have permission to view the desktop folder as well as the other 'protected' folders in my backed up home folder. I repaired permissions on the off chance that it would fix it, but it didn't.
Something is clearly broken, do the masses have any suggestions? I found multiple suggestions for how to deal with this under 10.5, but nothing about 10.6.
Thank You,
Zac

But what if I want to reuse my backup? How would I go about doing that? I trashed the time machine plist file (the only one i found was "Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist") in the hopes that after a restart I would be prompted to reuse the backup. No luck.
I don't know why you didn't get the "reuse" prompt, but that wouldn't prevent a new, full backup. You have a new internal HD. Even if it has the same name as the old one, Time Machine knows it's a different disk, so will back up everything on it. You cannot prevent that.
Your first problem is, you didn't transfer things onto the new drive properly (Apple Stores often give bad or misleading advice on that.)
And, you may have corrupted your backups by "trashing" the MyComputer_2 folder. Apple doesn't do a very good job of warning folks: +*never move, change, or delete anything in your backups+* via the Finder.
Try to repair them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If that works, your best bet is probably to do a full system restore, per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
You obviously had a problem with your Mac; depending on what happened and when, it's possible that damaged your installation of OSX and/or some of your data. If your last backup(s) were done after that started, the corruption may have been backed-up.
If that's a possibility, and you do the restore properly, but it fails, try it again, but select an earlier backup.

I would like to replace Logic board on Macbook Pro 15" 2011 2.0Ghz to 2.3Ghz Logic board. Is it possible or not?

hello apple,
i have Macbook 8,2 Quoad core Intel i7 2.0Ghz 2011.
the problem is it not working on startup (startup with blue , gray or black screen)
already go to apple service center, they said i have to replace the new Logic Board 2.0Ghz.
but i would like to replace to 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 Logic Board.
my question why can not replace 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7.
you know why because it bulit in USB 3 ports (up to 5 Gbps).
Many Thank,
Manthou Khorn

The 2011 MBPs do not have USB 3 Ports.
Check with iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com for logic boards for your MBP. They will have prices and installation instructions.
Ciao.

Can a faulty logic board kill a hard drive?

Could Apple's faulty Logic Board be the cause of my iBook's HD demise?
I have an iBook G3, Power PC 750 @ 800 MHz, running Mac OS X 10.2.1. A year or so ago I had to send it back to Apple to get the logic board replaced because the one they originally put in was faulty. Since getting it back, the iBook's not been the same -- frequent crashes, failed start ups, Desktop folders displaced upon start up, etc., ad nauseam. Disk Utility showed no problems when I'd run the repair procedure. The Hardware Test CD that shipped with the iBook showed no problems either.
Last week the iBook nose dived. Desktop folders were scattered, software programs weren't functioning correctly, and I couldn't move and/or trash folders. I ran Disk Utility again which now reported "Invalid Node Structure." It began rebuilding "B-Tree Catalog," subsequently reporting the disk was repaired.
Upon restart, the symptoms worsened, and within an hour my hard drive no longer mounted. Using the install CD at start up (holding the "C" key, of course), I'd get the flashing question mark, then the screen would flash, then I'd get the prohibatory sign, then after a little bit the CD would start.
Under Disk Utility my HD showed up as a generic Media, ATA, internal, Master something (whereas before it was a Sony something or other with one volume listed beneath). Nor could I re-install the OS X software because my HD didn't show as a destination disk.
I performed all the start up key commands offered as solutions in these forums and elsewhere (pram, nvram, power unit reset, safe mode, single user mode, verbose mode, open firmware ala mode). Open Firmware would not show my HD when using the command to list the directories. I even got creative but to no avail (BTW, "fix-this-expensive-piece-of-junk" is not a valid Open Firmware command). I even took out the additional RAM chip that shipped with the computer. The problem persisted.
Then I drove 2.5 hours and dropped $100 for DiskWarrior. Another 2.5 hours later DW was a "No go". Starting from the the DWarrior CD (holding the "C" key, of course), I didn't get beyond the "prohibatory sign." Alsoft's tech support Rep was very responsive, and offered various suggestions (thanks Marc!), and he finally concluded that there is an obvious hardware problem with my computer.
I have no other FireWire computer running Mac OS X to use as a host to target my iBook (I have an iMac maxed out running 9.2.2 -- had to resurrect it from the dead as well - whole 'nuther dilemna!). So, I bought an external FW drive, installed the 10.2.1 software that shipped with my iBook, and ran DiskWarrior from there to fix my internal HD. Nothing. The HD doesn't show as a repairable drive. Obviously it's toast - burned, baby, burned.
So I figured I could at least use the external drive to run the iBook. I then installed all the software from the "restore" CDs, rebooted, only to enjoy screens full of fine gray lines, and frozen screens, and screens of green and red and blue and purple and yellow lines. YUM!. This is the same junk that Apple supposedly fixed by replacing my logic board last year.
My iBook is again useless, and six months beyond Apple's Logic Board Replacement Program's "3-year from date-of-purchase" criteria. Frustrated beyond explanation, I'm beginning to regret my decision to "Think Different."
I apologize if this post comes across as a rant. That's not my intention. I'm very disappointed, and I wanted to detail my predicament thoroughly as to eliminate the "did you hold the 'xyz' key" responses. Trust me, I read and tried them all.
All this said, I iterate my question. Could Apple's obviously faulty Logic Board be the cause of my iBook's HD demise?
Also, is a Logic Board something I can purchase and replace myself?
Thanks for your time.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions. I'm so sorry to hear of your troubles.
Truthfully, I would question whether the iBook with both a dead hard drive and another bad logic board is worth the cost of repair.
My hard drive acted up when my iBook G3 800 Mhz came back from its second logic board repair. I invested in DiskWarrior, and it brought it back a couple of times, but, ultimately, I had to do an Archive and Install to regain use of my computer. That was in July of 2004, and it's still working fine (knocking vigorously on wood).
It is my belief that sometimes the trip to and from the repair facility for the logic board repair involves too much jostling for the hard drive to tolerate it well.
If you really want to get it fixed instead of buying a newer portable, I would recommend that you check out DT & T Computer Services in Fremont, California. They do free diagnostics and will do the repair on the logic board for about the same amount you would have to pay to just buy one. They also do hard drive replacements/upgrades (scroll down on the page). I would ask for a little bit of a break on the installation fee for the hard drive if they have it open to repair the logic board, anyway. DT & T also gives a six-month warranty on the repairs.
Good luck!.

1Ghz TiBook - Random freezing. Logic board fault?

Hi all,
perhaps one of you might be able to help troubleshoot this, because it's seriously driving me up the wall! I bought a used 1Ghz Titanium (DVI) recently and I'm finding that it freezes randomly when in use, requiring a comand+control restart. I've almost always experienced it in Safari, but also once in Entourage, illustrator and also in MacOS 9.2.2 Finder. Essentially what happens is that the cursor freezes and the powerbook no longer responds to keystrokes or trackpad input. I've tried an external mouse but that doesn't fix things either. The display is still lit but any moving graphics/video are frozen on screen. If music is playing in iTunes it cuts out leaving the last second of sound looping. Shortly after freezing I sometimes hear the fan come on, so perhaps there is a part of the powerbook still working after the crash (?). Also, I can select/deselect the caps lock and number lock keys and the green LEDs switch on and off, so perhaps it's not completely dead? The moment of the freeze almost always coincides with a mouse/trackpad click on the scroll bar, menu, safari menu bar, dock icon, form submit button, etc. It will on occasion freeze overnight when there is no mousing at all. generally though I can leave it playing iTunes all night and when I start using it in the morning it'll freeze when I collect my email or something.
the frequency of the freezing is semi-random; I have gone for roughly 48hrs of constant use without incident and then suddenly 2-4 crashes in short succession (ie, within about 10 mins of each other). Generally it freezes about 2 or 3 times a day. They do often come regular clumps.
Initially I thought it was Safari, or the OSX 10.4.5 installation that came with the powerbook, but I removed the entire HD and replaced it with the working drive from my Pismo and had exactly the same symptoms. Realising it was hardware related I did the usual drill of swapping, re-seating and removing ram, etc - but no dice. I've run Apple Hardware Test in a couple of 18hr loops but they return a glowing report about my hardware! techtool does likewise. I took it to the new Apple Centre in London where they ran their (apparently more powerful) AHT CD for 73 loops over 3 hours. Again, no reported errors!
I've read the long 'trackpad cable thread', and opened my powerbook to see if pinching the cable is an issue, but it's clearly not. I have lots of clearance around my trackpad cable and it's not in contact with any part of the case. I've even applied pressure all around the palmrest and the outside of my powerbook case hoping to induce a freeze but that doesn't seem to do anything.
What should I do next? when the powerbook works it's fine, but I'm at a loss as to what's causing the freezing. As a performing musician playing to hundreds of people a fault like this renders my powerbook useless since it must be absolutely stable and bullet-proof on stage.
thanks for reading and I'm grateful for any advice.
TiBook 1Ghz (DVI) Mac OS X (10.3.9) 9600/350

hi there,
thanks for the welcome. i've been visiting here for a while and find all the posts very useful.
the trackpad issue is an odd one; my powerbook doesn't seem to show the classic symptoms of weird startup chimes or jerky cursor movement, etc in the other thread. I nonetheless opened up the powerbook praying that I'd find a pinched cable since that would have been so easy to fix. unfortunately there's nothing about it that looks problematic.
I had also suspected heat as being an issue and searched this forum a couple of times for related posts, but couldn't find anything. When I opened the powerbook i checked the fans for obstructions and blew out any dust i could see (i didn't have compressed gas). Again, they looked fairly normal to me - i didn't spot anything obvious like a trapped cable. As far as I can tell all 3 fans come on OK. First one of them and then after some time another one or two turn on after the powerbook has been running a while. (Is it actually possible to determine whether or not they're all working?)
It's difficult to say whether heat is actually related to the freezing. certainly I often notice the fans come on before a freeze, or right afterwards, but just as many times that's not the case. what is consistant however is that the freeze occurs the instance a cursor selection is clicked.
would you say this would be resolved by a logic board swap, because I know someone selling one. On the other hand, I'm a little confused by all the error-free reports I get when I run the Apple Hardware Test for extened loops.
thanks again for your help!

Power Mac G5 DP1.8GHz - Bad Logic Board or Power Management Issue?

I have a Power Mac G5 DP1.8GHz/1.5GB/80GB which I bought non-working. It has not yet been disassembled or examined by a certified tech. This is it's issue (which replicates): the computer powers on. It makes a single warning tone, then the LED flashed at least 15 times (too fast to count). Then the posting chord is heard. Hard drive spins up. Then nothing (no video). Won’t boot from any disk. I have changed the RAM and tested the RAM banks with known-to-be-good RAM from another DP1.8GHz G5. The warning tone stopped once or twice after this switch, but then it didn’t chime. I changed the PRAM battery, but not with as new one. However, after installing the used one and then resetting the PMU, it displayed video briefly for the first time. While installed in the other 1.8GHz G5, the hard drive was formatted, given a clean install of OS X 10.4.11, and then moved into this computer where is never mounts. The computer is not accessible through TDM.
Do I have a bad logic board? Bad CPUs? A power managment issue? A RAM issue?

Through my own trial and error troubleshooting, I have found the CPUs to be in good working order and the logic board passes the Apple Service Diagnostic every time. Despite the installation of numerous pairs of modules that worked in another DP1.8GHz, the computer has a RAM issue-it gives the "no good RAM" tone most of the time when it powers up (after a PMU reset it does not). Also the computer boots from disk or into Open Firmware but the disk utility can't see either hard drive so I may have a bad SATA controller.

Can I buy a new Logic Board for an iBook G3 700 12"?

The Logic Board in my iBook G3 700 12" just died. My local reseller says it doesn't qualify for the replacement program.
Anyone know where can I get a NEW Logic Board for my iBook?
I don't like the thought of buying a used on on eBay and having the same problem 6 months from now.
Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Yes, but the best place I know actually installs it for less money than they charge you for buying one outright:
http://www.dttservice.com/ibookg3.html#ibookrepair
They offer a six-month warranty, which is better than most places (including Apple's own 90-day warranty on repairs).

Prompted to sign in to trial version of CS6 after logic board replaced

Hello. I purchased CS6 10 months ago and just had the logic board replaced on my iMac. Now, when I open Photoshop on that computer, I get a dialogue box "Sign in Required to use your trial version of Creative Suite 6 Design Standard". I did that, but I don't see a way to enter and validate my product installation code so that Adobe recognizes this as a legitamately purchased version. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Since sending the first message, I closed and reopened Photoshop and was prompted to either continue with the trial version or enter a valid license key. I did the latter, so hopefully I'm back in business.
