Replacing logic board uni macbook pro 17"

I want to upgrade my macbook pro 17 early 2009 by replacing old logic board with logic board of macbook pro 17 mid 2009 (3.06). Is it compatible with newer one?

I can't find a definitive answer to this question, though my suspicion is that it may be compatible. But if it is, you'd be paying a very large amount of money for a speed upgrade of almost negligible significance. (2.66GHz or 2.93GHz to 3.06GHz). At most that's a 15% improvement — barely perceptible, if perceptible at all, in day-to-day use.

Replaced logic board on MacBook Pro; now I must reauthorize!

I've just synched my iPhone with my MacBook Pro which came back today after having its logic board replaced under the nVidia issue recall program. But I am not that comfortable with the idea that I've now used up 2 of my 5 computers for apps/songs etc.
What can I do? I imagine that I need to inform Apple to de-authorize my previous logic board. But how?

If you weren't able to de-authorize your MBP before sending it in for the logic board to be replaced, I don't believe you can reset or de authorize all currently authorized computers until you reach or authorize 5 computers. You can then do a complete reset or de-authorize all authorized computers followed by re-authorizing the computer you are currently using.

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.

What logic board in macbook pro retina 15-inch late 2013?

hi
the logic board in my macbook pro retina 15-inch, late 2013 died within warrenty...
is there any way i can see what logic board my old logic board have been replaced with in 'about this mac' (or elsewhere)?
i have a suspicion that my mac is now using battery faster than before! could there be a relation?

If the iPhone works correctly on the other port, then the fault lies within the MBP. Bring it in for service.

Logic board for MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) has broken with no reason

I have MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011), i bought it 2 years ago, and few weeks ago suddenly my mac stop working, so i forced shut down. Then i started to use it again and my mac stop working again (it happende more than 3 times). So, i decided to bring it to the service center. After a week in the assistant diagnose my mac, they said my logic board has broken (failure), but when i asked what's the reason, they only say it had just broken and there's no reason behind that. The only way to fix it is only to replace my logic board with the new one.
Because my macbook doesn't registered in Apple Care protection, I need to pay around $1000 if i want to replace my logic board. It's really expensive and dissapointed with apple because the low quality for the macbook.
They said there's a lot of case like this with the mac book pro. I reaaaaaaaaaaaaally dissapointed . Is it really there's a lot of case like this?

Logic boards can and do fail, it does happen, just as in any other type of device, components break.
Where did you bring it to, a repair shop, or an AppleStore Genius Bar? Are you in the U.S.?
I recently had a LB replaced in the states at an Apple store 2010 15" MBP, I fortunately did have AppleCare so there was no charge. But the work order did have the price it would have cost had I not had AppleCare, it was
Part Logic Board $487.50
Labor $39.00
Plus tax
No where near the $1,000.00 you were quoted, that's why I ask where you brought it to, as well as where you are located. If you are in the States, and it is not an Apple store and some repair shop, run away from them, they are trying to rob you. Try an Apple store if you are in the States, you may also ask about the flat rate repair policy. If you are located elsewhere then I can not speak for the repair price. (Though it does seem high)

Graphics card/logic board issues: Macbook Pro Freezing during Apple Hardware Test!

I have a macbook pro that was working fine then the screen started acting funny. It would sometimes "tile" up where you would see the same issue repeated over and over on the screen and then computer would freeze. Sometimes the screen would start to have a strobing look and then freeze. I thought the computer was crashing but once the screen froze but the processor was still running. I knew the computer was still processing because I was streaming a video online and the audio from the video continued to download and play event though the screen was frozen.
I went to the apple store and they said they think it sounds like failure of the hardrive, graphics card, display, logic board. A new hard drive was just put in the computer about 4-6 weeks ago, and if it is the other issues could be $500-$800+ to repair. I tried to use the Apple Hardware test (non-extended test) but it keeps freezes at 2 min 32 secs every time when it starts "testing the main logic board"....
Has anyone seen anything like this and have another way to test what the problem could be? Thanks!

I know you're in denial, but it really does sound like the motherboard or graphics board which is integrated with the motherboard. Yes, fixing these things will cost almost as much as a new MacBook Pro. Get a new one, take the HDD out of your old one, and start over again.

Replacing logic board in Macbook

I have a black Macbook (unsure of model number, has T7200 processor), and I wanted to see if I could put a logic board from a late 2008 white Macbook. My main motivation is getting the 9400m integrated graphics card. Thanks in advance.

sorry you had to wait so long for a reply, but here goes:
unless you have an extensive knowledge of MacBooks and MacBook repair (and access to the Global Service Exchange, which i doubt you do), i wouldn't even try to replace a logic board. the IT person at my school won't even let me touch a logic board in a functioning computer (i'm 15) even though i've done lots of repairs on computers (including my own).
the logic board has a lot of components that are model specific and your computer could be damaged and put out of warranty if you try to do it yourself.
sorry about that, but it's the truth.

Test points logic board on macbook pro a1278

Hi all,
I have recently come across a unit that seems to power up but i get no image from the LCD or an external monitor.
I did disconect the dvd drive and the fan on the motherboard came on, which is nice, but still no image.
My questions:
Is there a way to test (DMM) to see if the data video cable or inverter are the culprits?
Are they tests points on the logic board I can measure to see if I can pinpoint what circuit is causing this behavior?
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreaciated!
Thanks!
Nate

After logic board replacement and software update, MacBook Pro is spontaneously shutting down and preventing restart. Inconsistent ability to restart after multiple tries. What is going on?

Hard drive sensor or logic board failure.
Try a SMC Reset, only thing I can help.

Check your tones with this sounds like it's not recognizing the RAM, perhaps it's not seated well or making a bad connection or it's defective.

Do replacement logic boards have serial numbers?

Hello everyone. My MacBook is in the shop for a logic board replacement. I've read elsewhere on this board that when you receive a replacement logic board that the serial number is no longer available from the System Profiler? Is this accurate?
The reason I'm concerned is that my MacBook does not have that information available on the battery bay where it's supposed to be. According to Apple, there is supposed to be a gray sticker underneath the battery on the computer that shows the Ethernet ID and the serial number in addition to directions on how to change memory. My computer has never had this gray sticker.
I'm concerned because, if the above is true, there will be no way to identify my computer or to associate my AppleCare agreement with this particular machine.
Thanks.

The boards themselves might, but when they're installed into your system it shows up blank in the about my mac preference pane. They can't write your SN into the board of a replacement. Checking under the battery you should be able to locate the SN. However you stated that this is missing.
I'd dig for your original receipt or box as the SN is one both of those items. Or you can try ringing apple or the store you bought it at and give your name, phone and email. They keep records of purchases at the stores on file, and also when registering. The mere fact that you've had it serviced means AppleCare should be able to provide that information to you by looking up your past case number. Make AppleCare add a note to your account that the sticker came up missing after the repair as to avoid issues with further service.

I bought 2 new memory card to 4 grams each - replace them in your MacBook Pro 13-inch but it will not turn on - If you are installing a card for 2 and one for 4 d all works - tell me what could be the problem

I assume that you have installed new RAM in your MBP.
It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.
What the the RAM specifications that you are trying to install?
Ciao.

How to replace hard drive in macbook pro?

How to replace hard drive in macbook pro?

Hi S,
If you have the newer unibody style, it's very easy. If it's one of the earlier models, it's considerably more difficult. Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > Hardware and find your Model Identifier. Then go to ifixit.com, or powerbookmedic.com or macsales.com or youtube or others and there are illustrated, detailed directions. Good luck to you and post back if you have further questions.

You could ask the Apple store to let you have (or buy) one of the boxes they use to send the displays in for repair. They should have these on hand.
