New problem WITH the logic board replacement

Hi Everyone,
I sent my computer in recently to get a whirring fan noise repaired, but after receiving my macbook, I have developed the whine.
They tell me they replaced the logic board, but I didn't even ask for one. Now I have a loud whine coming from the left side of my computer near the adaptor.
I guess my question is, is it possible to develop the whine after the logic board has been replaced and why Apple replaced a logic board which had no whine.
Thanks for the help.

You will not be able to order a logic board from Apple.  You can look at websites such as iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com where Apple MBP parts are available.  Costs will be shown there.  In additions there are instructions available if you prepared to install it yourself.
Ciao.

  • After having the logic board replaced, Time Machine will no longer backup my computer to the same backup files as before.

    After having the logic board replaced due to bad NVidia chip, my Time Machine will no longer backup my computer to the current backup. Is there a way to reset something to get Time Machine to continue to use the same backup files as before for this laptop?

    As far as TM is concerned you have a new computer, so it will make a new backup. If you don't have the space for both backups then erase your backup drive before backing up the computer.

  • Two new problems with the Quicktime Plug-in

    I recently discovered two new problems with the current Quicktime Plug-in for Mac OS X.
    First, the Quicktime Plug-in is unable to stream Quicktime media in any internet browsers other than Safari.
    There is just nothing on the spot where the embedded Quicktime player should be.
    Second, the Quicktime Plug-in only shows the message "The operation couldn't be completed. This file is not a movie file (-2048)"
    everytime it should work together with the Flip4Mac Plug-in. The thing is, when facing a webpage where a wmv or wma file is
    embedded, there only shows that error message on the spot where the player should exist. I first thought that it would be a
    problem with Flip4Mac. So I uploaded about this problem on telestream.net, only to hear that the error message above belongs
    to the Quicktime Plug-in.
    Both of these problems did not happen at all only three weeks ago. The embedded Quicktime player showed up without any problem
    in my Firefox and Opera, and wmv or wma files were streamed successfully through the Flip4Mac and Quicktime Plug-ins.
    Then, suddenly, after some point, these two problems began to occur, and there is no information on how to solve them on the web.
    I obviously tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime. I even completely erased the hard disk of my Macbook, and reinstalled the
    whole Mac OS X. But the problems still remained. I borrowed another Macbook from my friend to check whether these problems
    occur in other computers, and they did occur in my friend's Macbook as well. So they are definitely not the matter of my own Macbook only.
    I think these might be the problems with the new Quicktime Plug-in 7.7.1.
    Please check about these problems and solve them on the next version of the Quicktime Plug-in.
    I will give you a couple of hyperlinks so that you can check about the problems directly.

    I recommend that you repeat all this via

    to make sure that Apple will see it.

  • I have recently replaced my iphone 4s front screen and made an error with the logic board. Is this fixable? picture will be linked

    Here is the picture of the logic board with the piece that has been broken off highlighted in yellow.

    Is this fixable some where? Or am i s%!t out of luck?

    If something has broken off the logic board, you'll need to get a new logic board.

  • (HELP) Dead MacBook Pro.. possibly something to do with the logic board.

    I had been noticing my MacBook Pro's performance degrading lately.. for example whenever I dragged a file into a folder it would lag for 5-6 seconds and then copy over. It started to bug me so I guessed that maybe a reinstall would fix the problem. After reinstalling and rebooting, I got no video on the display.. keyboard wouldn't work.. only things that happened was the disc drive made a sound, light came on the font and could hear the HDD spinning a little.
    I then took it to the Apple store as thats what Apple told me to do on the phone. So we took the loverly 3 hour drive(there and back) to the closest Apple store just to have the man take it out the back for 2-3 minutes and then come back to say "It's possibly the logic board that is dead".
    I am out of warranty by 2-3 months and so he told me I would have to pay £700 or so to repair. As a full-time student I don't have that kind of money.. I don't even have £60. - I find it annoying how they didn't even fully check the problem out.. just a "possibly the logic board".
    So what if I manage to click my fingers and have £700 appear right before my very eyes? I pay for the new logic board just to find out thats not really the problem? or maybe have the same thing happen again right after the 90 days that logic board is covered for? meaning I have to fork out another £700.
    I am a massive fan of Apple.. I love their products. I have brought so many products of theirs.. now just 2-3 months after my warranty runs out.. I get this. They didn't even say sorry for selling me a faulty product and didn't offer to help out in any way. When I spend £1,299 on something I expect it to last A LOT longer than a year and 3 months.
    I need my MacBook Pro very badly for College but now I can't do my work and if I want to do my work, I have to pay £700 for it.
    What do I do? Who do I talk to? Is it possible to get it fixed without having to pay that kind of money?
    I can't settle for anything less than a Mac. I love the OS way too much and need so many of the apps that are Mac-only. So no way am I going to forget this and buy myself some cheap PC CrapTop.

    Unfortunately, if you cannot boot from the disc, it won't be possible to do any diagnostic tests yourself.
    It might be worth getting a second opinion. Is there an Apple authorized repair shop anywhere near you? If so, possibly you could take it there and see if they can diagnose it. You may need to pay a small fee for them to do this. But possibly someone might take a little more time with it and be able to give you a definitive diagnosis.
    I'm grasping at straws, but you might be able to try resetting the SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
    I don't know if this would help or not--there are not many things to do when the computer is unresponsive and you can't use the keyboard or a disc.
    Unless the problem was reported to Apple while the MBP was still under warranty, I don't think there is any way that Apple would be able to fix it under warranty. Did you ever take it in for any problem under warranty that might relate to its current situation?
    I don't know if you might be up for trying to fix it yourself. If you are, here is a site that might be of help:
    http://www.ifixit.com/
    You have my sympathy--this has to be an exceedingly difficult situation for you. I will continue to think about this, and will post back if anything comes to mind.
    Good luck!

  • After having the logic board replaced on my Macbook Pro I can no longer access my photos in iPhoto

    When I try to I get an error message the following error message;
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I've done all of the above except for restoring from my back up. Is someone able to advise how I do this please? I've backed up the whol computer in the past but not one application. Thank you.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I just have the logic board replaced

    but everytime when I turn on the machine, I need to reset the
    NVRAM (command->option->p->r) to have it boot up successfully.
    Otherwise, all I can heard is the "bong" sound and the screen is kind of dark grey, no apple logo and spinning wheel.
    Anybody knows what happen?

    Try to press Alt when starting your Macbook to get the boot selector and select the boot disk with OS X, then select it again on "startup disk" system preferences and restart.
    If it doesn't work, try to reinstall OS X.

  • I am trying to get to a website I go to daily and get the message: "An error occured with the SQL server This is not a problem with the IP Board but rather your SQL server." I have no idea what this error is or what to do about it.

    I have tried clearing everything, rebooting, I just do not know what this actual error is. I was on the website, went back about 30 minutes later and that message. No other websites are bringing up this error.

    If FCP captures the footage then capture with FCP and import the files into Premiere. Just a few extra clicks.
    Or read this:

  • 3rd Logic Board replacement: will Apple give me a new computer?

    Hello Ronda and Friends,
    I am a professional guidebook and magazine writer, currently traveling around the world with an iBook which loves to crash its logic board right before book deadlines, usually very far from Mac centers. The first time was in Belize (had to ship it back to US at great expense), the second time in Pakistan (got logic board replaced 6 weeks later in Delhi, this was only 5 months ago), and the third, the day before yesterday, here in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which thankfully has a Mac repair center.
    I've got 3 months left on Applecare and plan on replacing the logic board again, though I have 6 months left on this current trip, which will soon take me very far from Mac repair shops (i.e. Africa). I am constantly working on deadlines, and if this third board craps out in Kenya, I'll be pretty screwed.
    After reading a few archived logic board sob stories here, some seemed to suggest that there are cases where Apple would grant a new model iBook, if that person's livelihood depended on it which mine certainly does.
    Please advise as soon as possible so I know whether to go ahead with the logic board replacement here. Or let me know who I should contact in customer relations.
    Thank you -- and if you are interested in my travels, go to

    Dual USB iBook   Mac OS X (10.3.3)   3rd logic board crash

    Hi, Joshua. Welcome to Apple Discussions. Again isn't it, as I seem to remember your logic board failure in Pakistan, yes?
    It seems to be the usual thing that Apple wants three attempts at repair (which means four logic board failures) before considering a replacement. However, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Especially since your livelihood depends on a working iBook, I'd advise you to ask for a replacement.
    Apple Phone Contacts includes a number for Thailand:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
    But do not mess around with Customer Service. Ask for Customer Relations. Tell them that your iBook has a habit of losing its logic board at the most inopportune times and in the most inopportune places. Be prepared to give them dates and details of repairs, and stress how vital your iBook is to your livelihood and that lost computer time is lost income. Tell them you need a computer you can count on, and your iBook, much as you love it, just isn't getting the job done for you. Then ask for a replacement.
    If Thailand won't do it for you, I think you should invest a call to the U.S. Again, don't settle for Customer Support; immediately ask for Customer Relations and give them the same sad story and ask for a replacement. It won't hurt to emphasize the fact that you have AppleCare.
    Failure in Africa equals a trip to the Netherlands for repair (at least from what I've read here). One person in Africa didn't have his iBook for months. You really need a dependable iBook to take to Africa. Tell them so.
    Good luck.

  • Has the NVidia GeForce 8600M GT logic board replacement program been extended by a year?

    I have heard that the logic board replacement program for MacBooks Pro with the failed NVidia 8600M GT chip has been extended from 3 to 4 years after the date of original purchase. However, a local AASP had no knowledge of such an extension. Is this true? I have a MacBook Pro 17" 2.6GHz that was purchased in 2008.

    when you took it in, it had been more than four years since your 2007 machine was originally sold, that's why you got the response you did.
    Actually it was within the time frame, it felt like it was just last month, when it was like several months ago.
    Just dragged the 15" recently out to see to use it for testing *cough* and low and behold it's worthless now.
    The problem I have is I told them at the Genius Bar the video was going, but couldn't prove it as it was very rare it occured.
    But they ran their little tests and gave me a load of crap, now it's dead. $2500 down the toilet.
    I know what did it, Lion. Lion was the cause, it ran like a fine machine under Snow, fscking Lion, I'm glad I didn't put that POS on my new 17"

  • Logic Board Replacement - Older or Newer Revision?

    I recently took my 2008 MBP Unibody in for a checkup due to a few issues I was having and they have shipped it out to have the logic board replaced. However, I was wondering if they still keep logic boards from the very first MBP Unibody around or if I would perhaps be getting a newer revision?
    My interest in this lies in that the first revision supported SATA 1.5 and I would love for my SSD to be better utilized with one of the newer revisions.
    Any ideas or thoughts? Has anyone else has any experiences?

    That's all I was curious about was if they kept parts for older macbooks.
    Yes, they do, up to a certain point. What that point is, I don't know, but I'm sure it's three years (AppleCare), and maybe a bit beyond.
