Replace 1.2GHz iBook G4 14" Logic Board with 1.42GHz?
Hi everybody!
I have an almost 2 years old iBook G4 14" 1.2GHz. Or better said - had. The logic board died some weeks ago.
My main point here is to find out if I can replace the faulty Logic Board with something faster, i.e. 1.33 or 1.42 GHz. I have heard some rummours that the cooling systems are a bit different and I am affraid that a faster Logic Board won't fit.
Any suggestions? I would appreciate all comments on the topic.
I also wonder if anybody else has seen the same Logic Board problem. Strangely enough, it shows the symptoms of a dead fan, even though the cooling system is passive, i.e. whe the computer is cool it may even boot the system and let me log in, while when it's already warm, it dies in the middle of the startup.
If I boot the machine in target disk mode, it may run for days. Sometimes though, it may show some video problems: after being operational for some time, the FireWire symbol may freeze. I've noticed, that if I bend the bottom of the iBook a bit the symbol may start going again. Sometimes the display may go completely black. If, in that case, I bend the bottom a bit, a strange video-check-like sequence starts, i.e. going through black, white, red, green, blue and some patterns. At the end of the sequence the FireWire image may be restored.
I have checked all detachable components, i.e. extra RAM and AirPort and I am sure that they work perfectly. It is also worth noting, that the laptop may work several days in single user mode.
Thanks in advance for all comments!
VentziWell, that's exactly what I thought first, but we are talking about an iBook here. That meens, that the 'video card' is actually only a chip soldered on the logic board and the fan turns on only when the computer has reached around 65-70°C.
And I cannot say that it boots OS X...
If the laptop is cold, i.e. has been off for a while, it may boot as far as the login screen. If I then log in, it will halt while still loading the menus.
If the laptop is already warm, e.g. booting it for a second time, it won't even get to the login screen. Usually it halts right after changing the grey screen to a blue one.
And this is NOT a software problem – I experience the same behaviour when booting from the installation DVD.
Interestingly engough, though, the laptop can run for days without any problems if started in single user mode (the text interface) or in target disk mode...
I've taken it all apart and I am certain, that the preriferal devices work.
About the AHT. If the computer is cold, the Extended AHT will pass without any problems. I the computer is warm, on the other hand, AHT will either not load at all, or will halt at some point without any error message...
Thanks for the help!
I hope that we can resolve this issue. -
my computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings, all of their diagnostics, and they even sent it to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple, especially iPhoto which is seems to refuse to load and then begins freezing up all over again. Anyone else have this problem. Other than this, I have had absolutely no problems with this computer. Now, it's a file of junk.
Hi Ronald ...
Have you checked lately to see how much free space there is on the disk? Especially since iPhoto freezes at launch ...
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
And make sure the OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click: Software Update
If you have anti virus software installed or are using third party Mac cleaning utiliites, that may be part and parcel of the your problems. -
Is it OK to Swap a Dual 1.25 Ghz Logic board with a Dual 1 Ghz one?
I need to replace the logic board in my original Dual 1.25 Ghz MDD Powermac G4. I found one that came from a Dual 1 Ghz Powermac. The person selling it says that they are identical.
Anyone know if it is alright to install the Dual 1 Ghz logic board with Dual 1.25 Ghz processors (and in the dual 1.25 case)? Thanks.
Dual 1.25 Ghz MDD Powermac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)I have a dead dual 1.25 MDD. Indications are that the problem is either the logic board or the processors. I have heard the MDDs are known to have more logic board failures that other Macs, so I am thinking about replacing that...
Does anyone know how much could I expect to pay for the just the logic board?

Replace 1.6ghz logic board with dual 2.0?
Is it possible to swap out the logic board and cpu of a 1.6ghz G5 with a dual 2.0 logic board and cpu?
i mean staying G5 the entire time, just going from
single 1.6 to dual 2.0 (not dual core).
I think you could do what you're asking about. The CPUs and motherboard go as a pair, so you can't drop a 2.0 GHz CPU into a 1.6 GHz mobo or vice versa. But, replacing the mobo and CPUs as a pair should be OK.
You'll likely also need to replace the power supply. The 1.6 GHz machines had a 450W power supply, and the 2.0 GHz machines had a 600W power supply.
However, you might want to talk with an authorized Apple repair center to see if there are any other technical hurdles that I've not mentioned. -
Replaced Hard drive and logic board on ipod 5.5g...still get sad ipod HELP!
I've tried searching around the forums to see if anyone has had this similar problem AFTER replacing the hard drive in their ipods. Of course there are tons of people with similar issues, and the responses are always "replace the hard drive", so I'm going to see if there are any other possible issues out there that I could look into. So here's my situation specifically.
I have an ipod video 80 gig, and it seemed as if the hard drive pooped the bed on day 366 (only a slight exaggeration) after purchase, putting me right outside of my warranty. The apple store wouldn't do anything without charging me the cost of a new ipod to repair it. So, it had been sitting in my desk drawer for almost a year when I finally got around to replacing, and upgrading, the hard drive. I found a 120 gig drive on ebay, which after an email confirming my model, the seller said should work as a replacement. After installing the hard drive, I got the same exact problem that I had before. It would say to "wait. low battery", then the apple logo would show up with no back light, and then it would go right to the sad ipod face. I left it charging for a couple of hours, and it would just keep cycling through those three screens, until dying eventually after unplugging it. If I hook it up to my computer, nothing happens besides the ipod trying to charge. When I try to force it into disk mode, it seems like the ipod will reset to the apple logo screen, but it goes right back to doing the same little dance. I tried opening it and checking the cables a couple of times, and the last time, I broke the little cable clamp that holds the lcd ribbon. So...I ended up buying a replacement logic board. I installed that, hoping the logic board may have been the problem all along, and as soon as I plugged it in...same old crap. Now, in a last ditch effort, I've ordered a new hdd ribbon to see if that remedies the problem.
I realize that I should have perhaps waited a week until it comes, to see if that fixes it. But to be honest, I can't see anything wrong with the hard drive cable that I have right now, so I remain doubtful that it's going to fix anything. What I'm wondering, is if anyone has any idea if there is something that I may have overlooked, or if I might be barking up the wrong tree? Is it possible that the hard drive that I ordered was broken when I installed it? The seller (who seems to be a reputable seller on ebay, with lots of positive feedback) said that they test all of there hard drives before selling/shipping, and that there is no way that they shipped me a broken one. They also seemed convinced that the hard drive would work with my model. Is there anything other than the hard drive, or logic board that could cause this type of problem? Is the hard drive ribbon the only other possibility? Is there something software wise that I can do?
Please. Any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent more on this thing than I could have paid for a used, but working one, and I'm about to lose it.
Thanks!UPDATE:
Ive installed the new hdd ribbon. It seems to have gotten me a little closer to solving my problem. I am now able to get into disk mode, and if I reset it, I can get to a screen telling me to connect my ipod to itunes and restore it. However, after the restore process, it says it's resetting the ipod, and then it goes right back to telling me that it needs to be restored. I've been trying to search all the forums on the "restore loop". It seems like a lot of people have had luck changing the drive letter. My problem is, that I can't get into the disk management window. When I try to click on it, I get the "program is not responding" and the window freezes until I close it. Again, I'm using windows Vista 64.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'll just try to keep trying, and keep looking around in the mean time. -
Macbook pro freezes every few seconds. replaced the HDD, ram, logic board. to no avail. any ideas?
i have a late 2008 macbook pro. it freezes-up (more like slows down) for just a moment every 5 seconds or so. the problem has been there since i originally purchased it, but due to school, i never got around to fixing it til now. i've taken it in to apple several times (6 or 7). this last time i was there, they replaced the logic board, harddrive, and ram, and even the screen (for hot spots, unrelated). but no success. it hasn't gotten any better at all, and now, in addition to all that, the screen blacks out occasionally too.
does anyone have any idea what's happening here? where else could the problem be?i have a late 2008 macbook pro. it freezes-up (more like slows down) for just a moment every 5 seconds or so. the problem has been there since i originally purchased it, but due to school, i never got around to fixing it til now. i've taken it in to apple several times (6 or 7). this last time i was there, they replaced the logic board, harddrive, and ram, and even the screen (for hot spots, unrelated). but no success. it hasn't gotten any better at all, and now, in addition to all that, the screen blacks out occasionally too.

Change MacBook Unibody late-2009 logic board with a MacBook Unibody mid-2010 logic board
Hi everybody!
Is it possibile to change my MacBook Unibody late-2009 logic board (2,26 Ghz) with a MacBook Unibody mid-2010 logic board (2,4Ghz)? If yes, I have to change trackpad too?
Thanks in advance!GPU is in the logic board too (take a look: https://it.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Unibody+Model+A1342+Mid+2010+Teardown/293 1).. So what's the problem?

Failed Logic Board with April 2010 MacBook Pro?
I went to the Genius Bar today to ask about repeated Kernel Errors with my 2010 MacBook Pro. The person who helped me said that the logic board was failing because of the graphics card and that it would cost $310 to repair.
My Mac is an A1286 model with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB Graphics.
Reading about Macs with NVIDIA graphics I immidately found that there were issues with the generation prior to my Mac, 2007-2008 Macs with NVIDIA 8600M GT.
So what I want to know is have any other Mac users had issues with their 2010 Macs and their graphics cards? My Mac has always run hot (too hot to actually use as a laptop because it turns my legs red!) and I figured it was just the nature of the machine. I now have one USB drive that is slowly failing (doesn't like my mouse). I haven't had any weird graphics issues, just the random restarts and a freeze now and then.My March 2010 15" Macbook Pro's logic board just failed. Here's my report:

I submitted my MBP 2012 model to service center on
1. August 12: They reinstalled OS. Took it back on 13th evening
2. August 14: They did some hardware check and reinstalled OS. Took it back on 20th evening
3. August 21: Stil with service center, they are investigating
What service they are providing.
Very bad experience with apple.After august 21:
They changed logic borad and told me that HDD is fine.
After few days I called back they told me HDD is faulty.
I do not know rather they do not know what is the issue.
Thats why I want complete replacement of MBP.
Then they say about policies.
I want to get MBP replaced, as the warranty has expired on 28th.
I do not know whether they can resolve issue or not
The super advisors from apple team are also co-ordinating still it is taking too long.
So my question is I need a repacement, How to get it? -
Hi there!
I was told by a seller in German store that Rev.E solves the whine and heat problems.
I'll have it replaced in Poland to logic board with symbol: 661-4044.
What does it mean? Is it the newest one?
Thanks
Adam MDon't worry,
I don't think anyone's English is good enough to understand what he wrote. It seems like he's being a bit of a jerk - as they say in American and if he was any sort of man he'd apologise. He's just making fun of the fact that you are not a native English speaker, but you should see and hear some of the horrible things they do to the English language in America so I wouldn't worry about it or him.
Your original post was fine and quite understandable. Sorry I can't answer your question about the latest logic board revision, but hopefully it will be the latest and best.
Best of luck. -
Can i replace logic board mid 2010 with logic board 2011 as newer
i have macbook mid 2010 cor to duo 2.66 my logic board damged can i replace my logic board with newer last 2011 2.3 core i5
mende1
The port placement is completely different on a 2010 model and a 2011 model, so the user wouldn't be able to replace it at all.

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.

1st Generation iMac G5 with new main logic board but now no Bluetooth?
Greetings:
As an owner of a 1st generation iMac, I can finally report that my iMacG G5 is now working fine since the main logic board has been replaced because of bad capacitors.
A NEW problem has been created. My internal bluetooth no longer works and is not visible in the hardware profile. I suspect that the Apple repair center may have removed my module or that it was attached to the old main logic board. On PC's running MS Windows (XP), there is a "hardware detect" routine.
QUESTION: Can anyone tell me if the internal module is visible by taking the cover off? I cannot seem to find a photo of where or how the module is attached. I can see my Airport module. Regardless, the Apple repair center said to simply bring it back in and they would fix the problem. They indicated that it was a simple software fix. After trying many different software techniques, I still believe they somehow forgot that my computer had BT and it went back with my old logic board.
Thanks in Advance,
JeffWe discovered the problem. After taking my iMac G5 back to the Apple service center, I got to observe the technician remove my G5 cover and bluetooth module.
The problem was due to the fact that the initial technician apparently did not realize he/she broke off the very small connecting pins on the module when he/she removed it from the original main logic board with the bad capacitors. They simply screwed it on the main logic board. They order a new BT module to replace the broken one.
FYI: It is very easy to install the BT module on the main logic board as I observed. No soldering, etc.. The location is directly above the power supply but below the airport card. It is about the size of a postage stamp and is in clear view withou removing any parts.
Thanks to All....Miriam...

I took my laptop to my local Apple store to have the problem diagnosed and they told me the problem lies in the grpahics card which will require the replacement of the entire logic board at a cost to me of $340.
after that I did some research on the topic and found that this was a massive problem on this model of macbook pro and Apple never issued a recall to fix the issue, are there any class action suits in this category currently underway? if so how can I join?I also have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15". Also, I had paid $100 for Apple Developer account and I can't even use Xcode or Unity3D to work on my game because the moment I write a line of code, my computer crashes. Scratch that, I used to have an Apple Developer account (I let it expire a couple of weeks ago). It hasn't been of much use since my Macbook Pro crashes 15 times a day.\
A month after buying a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15" directly from Apple, it began to crash. At first, I assumed it was my fault as I had been messing around with Bootcamp and doing other heavy stuff, but I quickly learned it would randomly decide to shutdown regardless of the task at hand. I was very busy at the time. I was a fledgling teacher in France, and I hardly had any time, or money, to put toward a 84 euro train ticket to Paris. Also, OS X updates were around the corner (Lion, Mountain Lion), so I held out, hoping the issue would be resolved with the updates.
During my investigation of the issue, I did find the TS4088 article. It recommended I install some updates, and then it described a problem that seemed similar to my own, but the order in which the problems occured, as described in the TS4088 article, did not follow the same pattern that my computer had been experiencing–there was no gray or black screen after the restart warning message when my mac crashed. The first time I found TS4088 on Apple's Support page (at a time when their product recalls were easier to locate before they redesigned their website), it was a couple of months after I had bought the computer. I reasoned that my Macbook Pro must not be suffering from the same issues as I had never seen the video freeze or go black before seeing a restart message. The restart warning message is the last thing I saw, no loss of video or black(or gray) screen afterwards. My computer would simply start to boot up again.
About two years after buying the computer, and suffering from about 3 GPU panics a day, I searched for the TS4088 article again, wondering if I had misread it, and that maybe the issues described in the article were the same issues I was experiencing. This time I could not find the TS4088 article on Apple's Website. I searched over and over again, but it was nowhere to be found. I assumed that issue had been resolved and the article removed. Now after three years of using a faulty, unreliable computer, I was feeling like a schmuck. I searched again on Apple's website to find the TS4088 article, or any new ones that outlined my very apparent GPU issues, but I had no luck. I circled Apple's website over and over and could not find that article. It was only through a link other frustrated mid-2010 Macbook Pro owners had posted on some other website that I found the link to TS4088, also learning that the forum's users were experiencing my same problems.
Based on the language Apple used to describe the problem, I did not reason that I was suffering the same issue. Here's what happens when my computer crashes:
• The computer seems to shut down. The display turns off, the fans stop spinning
• The message "Your computer was restarted because of a problem . . . Press any key to restart" is displayed.
• I press any key, the computer restarts, I wait for next crash to interrupt my work
Excerpt from TS4088
"Symptoms
Apple has determined that a small number of MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) computers may intermittently freeze or stop displaying video on the built-in display or on an external display connected to the MacBook Pro. In this situation, you may also see a restart warning message before the video is lost or the display turns black or gray."
My computer never displays a restart message before the video is lost or display turns black. My Macbook Pro mid 2010 loses the picture on the display, and less than a second after that is the restart warning displayed. The video would never freeze or stop playing, rather the whole computer just dumped all of its processes and displayed a warning message asking me to press any key to restart.
My issues with this problem are the following:
•The problems described in TS4088 do not accurately reflect what users are experiencing. TS4088 is misleading in this respect.
•The article TS4088 was not easy to find on Apple's website. It seemed to have moved to an obscure, impossible-to-find location that could only be found thanks to the great number of other Mac users who are experiencing the same problem.
This issue hasn't been managed dutifully. I'm annoyed to have sunk money into a developer account. I'm annoyed that I sunk money into an expensive product that does not work. I'm annoyed that the description of the issue afflicting mid 2010 Macbook Pros was inaccurately and misleadingly described and that links to the TS4088 article disappeared from Apple's website when I could have truly benefitted from them. I am especially annoyed that my life in graphic design, web development, and iOS development has stagnated for several months as my computer crashes some 15 times a day. I am, however, pleased with the speed at which a Mac can boot up.
