Price of replacing a motherboard?

I believe many people have accidently spilt water onto their computer Much to my regret, I am one of those people!!!   I have taken my laptop (Macbook pro 13 inch 2012) to get it repaired. The technician informed me that the motherboard was grilled but the rest of it wasn't affected. I am waiting for an answer from apple concerning the price of a replacement piece. Would anyone know an estimate of the cost of repair?
Thank You.

I guess I was expecting something around that price Shame it couldn't grill something a bit less expensive....
Thanks for the help!

  • Cost to replace a motherboard on a new iMac?

    I recently purchased a new iMac (24-inch Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 Ghz) to replace my other first gen iMac of the same spec.
    I had problems with it not booting up and slow-downs getting progressively worse until the only way that I could get the iMac to work was by re-installing the OS software every 24 hrs.
    DiskWarrior was reporting disk malfunctions and eventually was unable to see the hard disk, repair the directory or permissions.
    I put up with this for 4 days before taking it to an unofficial Mac repair centre in London.
    After they had spent 3 hours trying to work out the exact problem they advised me that I needed to replace both the data disk and the motherboard.
    Add the labour cost to this was almost the same price as purchasing a new iMac, which is what I felt I had to do.
    Can anyone confirm how much it would actually cost Apple to replace a motherboard including labour just so I know that the £760 price I was given for this part alone was indeed accurate?

    Sorry, but it wasn't clear on what system is was that you were referring to. So you believe your 2.8Ghz is out of warranty? Apple says that the early 2008 iMac wasn't released until April of 2008, so if that is indeed the model you have, it should still be under warranty. Confirm the model and warranty here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
    You may instead have a Mid 2007 model.
    If the system's warranty has indeed expired, the price you were quoted for the logic board still seems high, though logic boards for a 2.8Ghz iMac are rather hard to come by. I'd still suggest that you get a diagnosis and estimate from an authorized Apple service center or Apple store. You can then decide what to do.

  • Replacing a motherboard on an HP Media Center m7490n

    I purchased an ASUS P5LP-LE  motherboard to replace the one I had since it was diagnosed as damage in a computer repair shop (fan failure error on boot).  My question if replacing a motherboard is as simple as just replacing the parts from one to another or if I need to run or do any other procedure?

    The BIOS is already installed on the motherboard_it is programmed in a chip. If you still have the old motherboard, you might try reinstalling it.
    Marmaduke has a thread here and solved the error about fan failure:

  • My new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.

    my new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.
    At first my computer had issues. Once it go to sleep it will not back again. I dropped my laptop at apple store to fix it. After 10  days they returned my laptop saying they were no able to fix the problem so they replaced motherboard aiming if that might help. Acttually that didn't help.I had same issue again. I visited apple store again. This time they said they could fix, if I will allow them to format the harddrive. I said ok. They formatted it. It was working fine for few daysAfter few days compter is taking.even more than 15 min to shutdown. Now computer has another problem. It is being hang frequently like every 20'to.30 min.
    I don't know what to do? I still have one month left on first year warranty. I have requested couple times to apple associates either to fix or replace or refund. They are showing me rude behavior. They are not understanding my situation. I am a student. I need to do lot of home work. Since last three month my mac book and apple associates giving me hard time. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Contact Apple Customer Care - not Apple Care - Customer Support. Have your receipts handy and/or case numbers. Be patient, be calm, and tell your story just as you have here. I get the sense you are not in the US and don't have access to an Apple Store but are going to an independent shop. This makes using Customer Support all the more important. If phoning isn't viable, use registered mail.
    Since time is running short, be prepared to purchase AppleCare to exennd your warranty 2 more years. Yes, you shouldn't have to do this, but it gives you added protection and more opportunities over the next 2 years to claim a replacement computer if you don't get one immediately. After dealing with a similar unhappy situation with a Mac in the late 1990s I finally got a replacement computer and reimbursed for the AppleCare policy.

  • Replaced zd8000 motherboard and need some troubleshooting help please............

    Hello All,
     I just replaced the motherboard on our HP zd8000 (pentium 4, 3.0ghz, 2gb ram, Win XP) with a used but tested good MB and need some help with the following.
    1) I now cannot play DVD movies as the error no "dvd decoder" present which was not an issue before?  Where can I go to get a free decoder that will work, as Windows only shows paid versions?  We have the dvd burner/reader with lightscribe. SOLVED! CNET HAD DECODER.
    2) The internal temperature, according to SpeedFan, is running around 140 degrees with just some Internet browsing.  Is that a normal temperature because I only have one of three fans running on the laptop?  Is there anyway of making all three fans run to be sure there are no issues?  I am positive I hooked up everything but again only one fan seems to be running?
    3) I discovered some of the pins were damaged in the card reader.  I may get the Seller to give me a discount, no intention of tearing it apart simply for that, but is there any concern of short or otherwise?
    4) Our battery stopped charging years ago, these were notorious for such, but I purchased a new one last year and hoped the replacement MB would allow charging again.  No such luck though.  Is there anything I can do, BIOS update etc, to make the battery charge?
    5) Anything you folks can think of for me to test to insure the new motherboard is working properly?
    Thanks, Ralph 
    P.S. This was a correct replacement board according to MB serial numbers.  Everything else seems to be functioning properly other than mentioned.  Our graphics went out on the original MB.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Some of the wires had pushed out of the harness that connected the other two fans.  I double checked and re-attached those so now the laptop is running quite a bit cooler.
    EVERYTHING IS GOOD TO GO!

  • I'm replacing my motherboard for ane9220yl pavilion elite. I'm looking for a wiring diagram

     I'm replacing my motherboard for HP pavilion Elite e9220yl. I need a wiring diagram to help me make sure I'm rewiring correctly.
    This question was solved.

    That depends on what type of connection your display has and whether or not your PC has a video card used for display or if you are using the onboard video outputs.
    Do you really mean PC monitor ( the old school kind) or did you mean to say LCD display (thin flat screens) instead?

  • USB port....need to replace the motherboard or whatever holds the USB in place

    the USB port on the lower R side of my hp pavillion dv1000 notebook pc....when I try to plug something into the USB port, the port goes in.  I need to replace the USB port. I don't know if it can be fixed or if I have to replace a motherboard or sisterboard or whatever the USB port is connected to. Any ideas or advice and how hard is it to fix it. I don't want to get rid of the laptop because it still works great. I can burn and play cds and dvds on it. I can use the WIFI to access my email. Other than the USB port connection needing repair...it runs great. Please advise or help. Since it's out of warrantee since 2007(purchased in 2004) hp will not give me any support or tell me what part I need to replace etc... And it would cost more to send it out to fix....around 400 or 500.  So I want to get the part and have my friend put it in. Please advise/help.
    Angie

    Post your full model number and I will see if it is a replaceable part.

    Assuming that Apple will allow you to replace the device:
    For the original iPhone up to iPhone 4: $149 USD + tax.
    For iPhone 4S: $199 USD + tax.
    For iPhone 5 through 5S: $269 USD + tax.
    For iPhone 6: $299 USD + tax.
    For iPhone 6 Plus: $329 USD + tax.

  • HT1386 asus replaced the motherboard in my windows 7 machine since getting it back can not sync or connect to store

    After asus replaced the motherboard in my lap top I can not connect to i tunes or sync my apps. I was able to authorize a different machine and it works. The asus was the original machine I first set up my new I phone 4s.

    Just curious, have you resolved your issue yet?
    I am working on a friend's computer that had the same issue and it turned out that her iTunes was set by some crappy program called TuneUp Companion to use Windos XP compatibility.
    If you have TuneUp Companion, uninstall it.
    Then check to see if iTunes is trying to run in some prior windows version compatibility and turn it off

  • If you replace a video card... do you have to replace the motherboard too?

    so my pre-unibody mbp has a faulty video card. i'm told it needs to be replaced. is it true that having the video card replaced involves replacing the motherboard too?

    If I may chime in, if you are a heavy photoshop user-the 13" is already not an option.  15" or 17" depending on your budget. You need the i7 processor and upgrading to 8gb ram wouldnt hurt either.  But dont get the ram from Apple..way overpriced.  See here: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S08S/. 8gb for $60-cant go wrong with that! And a lifetime guarantee.

  • Replacing a motherboard on a macbook air

    To the people that are reading this, I thank you for helping me. I have been thinking about replacing the motherboard in my macbook air (13", mid 2011) so I can have better specs. However, there is one problem: it must obviously be the same size so it will fit perfectly. Does anybody know if the size of the most recent macbook air's motherboard is the same as my model? My warranty is now expired so I have some freedom. Please let me know!

    If it's from the same model MBA, it will work.
    Check its "model identifier". A Mid-2011 MBA, 13 inch size for example, will be MacBookAir4,2.
    The most recent macbook air's model identifier is MacBookAir6,2 and its logic board cannot be substituted.
