New logic board - brings all new problems
I bought my rMBP in July 2012 and started having graphics-related kernel panics almost immediately. They seemed to come only so often, sometimes going a month or more between panics, so I never wanted to have Apple fix it because I didn’t want to be without it for a few days. Then, about ten days ago, the kernel panics started coming like crazy, all with the “NVRM read error” message, and three NVIDIA-related kernels listed in backtrace everytime. I had no 3rd-party extensions at any point. The evening of the kernel panic parade, I was suddenly unable to boot, even into safe mode. Or so I thought – it wasn’t that the machine wasn’t booting, it was shutting the display off shortly after the login screen, which I discovered by accidentally bumping the volume button. I could not get the display to work no matter what I tried, including connecting to an external monitor. I could, however, remote into the machine using screen sharing and see the desktop as usual.
I printed a couple of the panic logs, made an appointment at the genius bar, and took the machine in. The guy at the genius bar said he was one of the two actual techs they have, and he wasn’t going to mess with it in the store, thinking my guess of a bad main logic board was probably on target. They sent it to the depot, which replaced the main logic board, and it arrived back in the store on the 2nd business day, which was excellent.
They said they tested it extensively and all appeared to be working correctly. I haven’t had a single NVRM panic since, but now I’m having a bunch of other and different kernel panics – new kinds that I never had with my old main logic board. This happens even in safe boot. They all say this at the top of the log:
Fri May 10 11:19:26 2013
panic(cpu 7 caller 0xffffff8007eb7e95): Kernel trap

Also having a bunch of app crashes I’ve never seen before (there are others):
Process: CVMCompiler [126]
Process: airportd [27]
Process: Aperture [661]
Process: locationd [55]
And they all list something like this:
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
I realize this likely ends with me taking this back to the genius bar, but I’m traveling until Tuesday so I figured I’d check with the community first.
Yes take it back. The only other thing to try is a clean install of os x. If you still get panics with a fresh clean install then it is back to the genius bar for more work on that system.

New logic board and network connection problems
My late 2007 MBP just had a new logic board installed. I have home and work wireless networks that are configured to connect automatically. This always worked flawlessly in the past. My MBP would find the network, connect and all was well. Since I've had the new logic board I'm having issues. The wireless network will be detected but an IP address is not assigned so I can't get on the network or internet. Both my home and work networks were set to assign a specific IP address to my computer. The MAC address detected by the router is correct, at least according to System Preferences.
The only way I can connect is to disable the firewall (Allow all incoming connections). When I do this I connect immediately to the network and everything works as normal. I can even turn the firewall back on and everything will be fine, that is until I leave work and turn the computer on at home. Then I have to go through this again. And then again when I go to work in the morning. I've tried deleting my router profile and resetting from scratch, deleting the network profiles in System Preferences and re-detecting. I don't know what else to try. It's an annoying problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
KevinI think I have it fixed. One of the solutions I read about had to do with the 10.5.7 upgrade. I have always installed the smaller upgrades, not the larger "combo" upgrades. One tip suggested installing the full combo upgrade because, among other things, it re-creates two specific files that control how the computer interacts with the network. I installed the combo upgrade last Friday and connected without difficulty to the network at my office this morning. If I connect just as easily when I get home tonight I will consider the problem solved.
Cheers!

Replaced logic board, but still having problems
I just got my Mac back from the shop. It had been spontaneously shutting off and, since my serial # was within the range for the replacement program, they replaced the logic board. (I thought it was the power supply that was buggy? Meh. I only half-understand this stuff anyway.)
Set it up last night and it worked smoothly. Put it to sleep before I went to bed. This morning, it wouldn't wake up--the power was off.
Gah! I'm beyond frustrated. What now?!
iMac G5 1.6GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)emmywren-
Call Customer Relations-1-800-767-2775. I think the number is the same for Canada.
Firmly, yet politely, explain your situation to them and have them open up a case number. That is the official way to essentially alert Apple to the potential misbehaving of their "Apple Certified Repair" centers.
It does happen that a repair center will replace a board with another one that turns out to be faulty. Happens. But Apple should know about this and follow the process.
I would take the stand that they should return a functional Mac to you first, and if the fan turns out to still be an issue you can deal with it later. Sounds to me like "the guy" may need to follow some logical troubleshooting procedures first to fix his problem.
You do not have a piece of crap, nor should you accept such a fate. Generally, if Apple cannot fix this by the third try they will replace your machine. This is not a given fact, but calling Customer Relations will begin the process.
Hang in there-

Logic and BFD (all out) problem...I know, I know, but this one's a bit diff
OK, I'm new to Logic. But I pretty much get it. I totally understand how the Logic Environment should be interfacing with BFD (all out), using audio objects (Aux) for the coresponding outs from BFD. Here's the thing...
When I try to select the input options for the Aux object from BFD all I get is "BFD (all out) 3-4" and no other options from BFD. Am I missing anything or is my BFD just being a jerk? Also, after updating and re-installing BFD and Logic the AU manager still won't pass BFD. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Dual 2.0 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1GB RamI thought this is what it's supposed to do. Send
channels 1-2 to the track, and the rest to the aux
objects (which would start w/ 3-4).
Yes, I understand this, however all subsequent tracks (not just the next sequential tracks) pull up as 3-4. No further outputs are given once 3-4 has been selected once. They all come up with 3-4 if stereo or 3 or 4 if mono. Nothing else. That's why I now suspect it's an issue for FXpansion to solve.
This isn't do or die for me. It's definitely more convenient that soloing each output in BFD one at a time and recording it to an audio track, but I can do that in the meantime. Thanks all for your input! -
Logic Board Problem on 1.2Ghz G4 iBook?
My G4 iBook (14inch, 1.2 Ghz) has been giving me problems in the last two weeks.
At first I thought it had something to do with the latest update to OS X 10.4.11, but after doing an archive and install and checking things out with Disk Warrior, I'm thinking it's the logic board.
The main problem is that the machine has a tendency to freeze while I'm working with it. Sometimes it happens when I'm just doing work with Word or Appleworks. Sometimes it happens when I'm trying to access an electronic gradebook where I teach. It DEFINITELY freezes when I attempt to pick up the machine from the lower left corner where the hard drive is located.
I thought it might be a hard drive issue, so I actually replaced it, but the problem of freezing remains.
The freezing is weird, however. What happens is that the cursor can move around on the screen, but that's all that works. I can't access any menus or anything on the dock. At times the dock will freeze in middle of enlarging as the cursor passes over it.
After doing some research, it seems that this might be a logic board issue.
My machine isn't under warranty since I bought it secondhand off eBay and I've been using it quite a bit for the last year with no problems whatsoever. Is there a fix to this or am I going to have to replace the logic board? I'm seeing prices that are running in the $350 - $500 range.Actually, there are a couple of things you can do that cost a lot less than a new logic board.
First of all, run the Apple Hardware Test to verify that all of your chips are OK. They probably are.
What is probably wrong is that the ball grid arrays that holds the chips to the logic board have started to fail. This will cause freezing, particularly as the board heats up.
The cheapest thing to do is to make and install some home made shims which press on the chips and enable them to make better contact with the logic board. Here is a site which shows how to do this:
ibookG4 logic board fix:
http://www.coreyarnold.org/ibook/
However, there is also a more permanent solution, which is to send the logic board to a specialist to be reballed. I did this recently, and I can highly recommend the following specialist:
http://www.superiorreball.com/
The cost to reball my iBook logic board was just $75.
You will have to remove the logic board and send it off, but since you already replaced the hard drive, you probably are already familiar with the ifixit site.
Good luck! -
Macbook Pro not working with replacement logic board
Hello everyone! About two months ago, someone spilled tea over my macbook pro. Upon taking it to the Apple store the representative told me that it would cost me over $1,000 to repair it and that I would be better off getting a new one (I know most of you have heard that many times). I inspected the Macbook and I realized that when I tried turning it on the keyboard would not light up and, but the sleep light was on. Furthermore, I heard the hard drive and the fans spinning. The tea only spilled on the right side of the Macbook so I figured that would help me narrow down the issue. The apple representative told me that I needed to replace the logic board so I went and bought a replacement one that was the same model. Before I screwed all the pieces back in, I wanted to try it out and see if it would turn on. Unfortunately I still have the same problem. It seems that the logic board is not the problem, but I am not sure what it might be. I'm pretty sure the CD/DVD drive is damaged, but I don't see why that would prevent the Macbook from turning on. I did a little research and I notice that most people test the graphics card to see if it is working, but I don't know how to do that. I have an older Macbook Pro, the motherboard is model 820-1993-A and I believe the model of the Macbook is A1150. Please help, this macbook was a gift and I don't want to throw it out!
Well I would like to find out what the piece is that is causing me the problem so that I could replace it! I already replaced the most expensive piece and the hard drive seems to be working fine so it doesn't leave many things. I just would like to know how I would be able to check to see if the video card is damaged.

Should I repair an Ibook logic board
I can have a 12 inch ibook 1.2ghz if I pay to repair it. It was just 14 months old, had been treated with great respect, when the logic board failed. Needless to say its owner had not purchased any extended warranty. Its owner purchased a new macbook and put the ibook in a drawer because he decided it was not worth the repair. I would use this ibook to replace my old Powerbook 3400c that died finally. I see on the forums that logic board failure is a problem with ibooks and that many people replace one only to have it fail. My question is whether it is worth replacing this ibook logic board? Is there a generic problem with the reliability of these logic boards, so that subsequent failure is a hit or miss thing? Or does their failure result from other factors so that an ibook that has one logic board fail may have an underlying cause that will lead to subsequent failures? Is this computer worth saving?
I see on the forums that logic board failure is a problem with ibooks and that many people replace one only to have it fail.Although there have been some failures the absolute majority of iBook G4 users have not had any type of logic board failure.
Is there a generic problem with the reliability of these logic boards...
No
Is this computer worth saving?
You will need to look at the cost of replacing the logic board versus buying a new/refurbished iBook G4 or new MacBook. -
I have a question. My MB recently had the logic board replaced. My Serial Number no longer appears in the system profiler. I was just wondering if there is any way to restore the number. Thanx
There is no way to restore serial number in the new logic board replacement because by default apple erase serial number to all logic board replacement.
As service technician there is no sutility to write serial number in the firmware section as of today. Don't know in the future if Apple/intel release the utility.
I've change many logic boards and all of them the serial number is blank in the system profiler. But basically you still have serial number in physical unit which located inside battery bay when you take the battery out you will see the serial number and that's what I use usually to confirm the serial number of the unit.
So if you have macbook make sure that when you get top case replaced the technician move your serial number to new top case.
Hope this help

My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??
Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly . -
IPod does'n play music (Logic Board?)
Would the Logic Board be the problem if everything on my iPod works excpept the music? It says play (the triangle icon appears) but the progress bar never moves. If it isn't the logic board isn't the problem, what could it be? (I've restarted it, restored it, completely formatted it [zeroed everything out]). The hard drive spins...
Could be many reasons, if you have a 5G iPod (iPod Video), and recently updated the firmware to 1.2 or above. Version 1.2 had problems playing MP3 files encoded in mono, it just wouldn't play them. If the files are MP3 are mono encoding, just set the start time to 0:00:01, and they will work.
This is the only advice I can offer, and I hope it works out for you. -
Logic Board replaced after randomly shutting down
I know there are a lot of posts on the randomly shutting down issue...
My MacBook started randomly shutting down after a month since I got it. Apple replaced the logic board and I got it back today. I read on some posts that people got their logic boards replaced and the problem continued. Is this likely to happen with my MacBook?
This seems to be a big issue. My friend got a MacBook last week and it started randomly shutting off within the first hour of use. He had it exchanged, and it's fine now... but for how long?I don't think it would do any good to yell at the store manager/technician. Still, I do understand you since I got the same problem here. However, since my logic board was replaced, I got fewer RSD, which is a start...
Personnaly, I know that my MB is guaranted 1 year, so I won't hesitate to have it repaired, or exchanged if needed (after 3 repairs for the same problem usually). As a matter of fact, other than some RSD, my fan has started making noises when I power up my MB, when it is cool. I wait because there is no solution out there yet (for RSD, and my problems are not that bad.
By the way, reading many of the threads around here, we can almost state for sure that:
-the logic board
-the RAM
-the hard drive
-the heat sink
-the battery
are not the (direct) sources of RSD. This has to be proved for the processor and the fan.
To be followed... -
Do you think this is the logic board?
Ok, So I'm sitting in psychology and the computer freezes and the video becomes distorted (like the Photoshop wind filter) little lines going everywhere. I then held the power button and it shut down. Then I tried to boot it, but nothing.
Later it works OK, but do you think this is the logic board?
Will it get worse?
And finally, Do you think I am eligible for a logic board replacement?
Serial: UV3283xxxxxGah, Sorry forgot to mention in the message i have an ibook.
You didn't need to say that you have an iBook because it says it in your system configuration at the bottom of the screen I just thought that I'd mention my experience because it was a bit similar to yours.
I definately think that it is worth getting it checked out. Maybe just drop it off at an Apple store and ask them to do some tests on it to see if the logic board does have a problem. If you are eligable for the logic board replacement then it's definately worth looking into. Often, intermittent problems like this can turn into more serious ones like mine.
I personally would not leave it down to chance.
Good luck

I was recently given an old Power Mac G4(Digital Audio). The tower was in good shape, but the logic board was corrupted.
I have a logic board from another Power Mac G4(AGP Graphics) and was wondering if I could transplant the one logic board into the tower of the Digital Audio?
I would appreciate any help. Thank you!Hi
I guess it may be possible but not easy.
On the Digital Audio G4s the ports on the back are arranged differently and they also have an additional PCI slot. Consequently the ports/slots on the AGP Graphics logic board won't align with the openings in the back of the DA case. I have a feeling the power supplies are also different in that the DA supply has additional pin(s) to provide power for an ADC connector on the graphics card. Consequently the DA power supply may not 'plug into' the AGP Graphics logic board.
Attempting to use a DA processor card in an AGP Graphics logic board also has additional problems because the bus speeds are different and the processor cards are located in different positions. To get the processor to operate at it's intended speed, you have to increase the bus multiplier to compensate for the slower bus speed, which involves adding and/or removing resistors on the processor card. To get the processor card to fit into the logic board, I have a feeling you also have to remove or modify the optical drive ATA connector, as it interferes with the larger card. -
I have an early 2011 i7 MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.4. Earlier this week I had Geniuses at the Apple Store install a new logic board to replace a failed one. My hard drive was not touched. Anyway, when I got home and launched iTunes, I discovered that none of the tens of thousands of legally purchased songs in my iTunes library were listed, even though they actually still exist in my Music folder. Additionally, my attempts to login to the iTunes Store with my valid and correct and accurate and current Apple ID with the correct password, did not work. In fact, no errors were generated. The logins simply erased my input after clicking SIGN IN and then the "Sign In" form came back empty.
As a developer and 28+ year user of the Mac, I was a little stunned to say the least. The Apple Store logic board replacement process should take into account iTunes authentication problems when replacing failed logic boards, but this issue was not discussed at all, in any form during the repair intake process. So, I now have a 'fixed' MacBook Pro that will not acknowledge my thousands of legally purchased songs and will not let me log into the iTunes Store with my valid credentials or authorize or de-authorize my Mac.
Indeed, iTunes Match is also disabled, which means $30 thrown away in paid subscription.
Does anyone know a workaround to this Apple flaw that can correct their mistake and re-enable my Mac for using my thousands of legally purchased songs?
Any feedback would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
LarryHaving your main logic board replaced wouldn't erase music from your hard drive, if it was actually stored on the drive. Your iTunes music resides in your user home folder in a folder called Music.
When you do get a logic board replaced, however, it is a good idea to have the computer first de-authorized from iTunes since you are only permitted to associate your iTunes Store account DRM purchases (movies, tv shows, and older digital-rights-managed music) with up to five computers. See Deauthorize your computer using iTunes.
When a new logic board is installed, you'll need to reauthorize the Mac again. It's not the end of the world, however, if this step wasn't initially taken. See Authorize your computer using iTunes.
...As for not seeing your music when you launch iTunes—try point iTunes to the correct location of your iTunes folder. To do this, quit iTunes. Press the option key and click the iTunes icon in the dock. It will then ask you to navigate to the location of your iTunes music (again usually located in the Music folder in your home folder). -
I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.
