Spare Logic Board in Argentina for Macbook Are 11

Bought a new Macbook Air at an official distributor in Argentina (Novotech). After a couple of months my Mac died. I went to the distributor, who tells me that there are no spare parts available to solve the problem in Argentina. Apparently, the issue (they say) is that there are some import restrictions in the Argentina, complicating the entrance of the spare parts (in this case the logic board) into the country, hence delaying repairs for over a year. How is it possible that new equipment enters the country, while spare parts not? It doesn’t make sense. What solutions is Apple offering to its clients? Is the second Macbook Air that I own that suffers the same problem, I am very frustrated with this brand that claims to be best quality with premium prices.

The closest apple support for you is in Brazil. You might need to call there to see what your options are. 0800-761-0880

  • What will it cost to get a new logic board in my 17" macbook pro 2.2 i7

    Water was spilled on a 17" macbook pro 2.2 i7 early 2011 model and now it won't power up. What will Apple charge me to replace the logic board, which I assume is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Only Apple can give you a definitive answer.  Take it in for a diagnosis and you will be told what are the exact costs.
    Ciao.

  • Will apple replace a faulty or bad logic board on my 2013 MacBook Pro?

    I have a late 2013 13" macbook pro that has been diagnosed, by a non apple provider, with a bad logic board.  The place where i took it suggested getting that confirmed with Apple.  I have an appointment tomorrow at my local apple dealer...
    but am worried that this practically new laptop is toast or going to be very costly since I don't have applecare!!  Any help for me????

    my late 2013 13" pro also has a bad logic board. The diag said it was a memory failure. I'm 3 months out of warranty and had it sent to the repair center for $280 plus tax. I don't feel like the logic board was defective I just didn't catch it in time. I tried a restore a few months ago and it worked better because i was in Yosemite beta since the developers beta and I thought the issues were because of the betas. It has constant panics and restarts but I was trying to get by until now it wouldn't turn on and disk utility said the hard drive was not mounted and it wouldn't let me restore It. maybe there are a few more people with problems then there should be so soon.

  • What logic board is used for the newest 27 inch iMac

    If anyone knows that would be awesome!

    The one Apple has specially built for those systems. Since the newer iMac's are SEALED system, only RAM can be accessed by the user, not sure why you want to know. It's not like it is some Off the Self motherboard (Apple speak Logic Board) made and available any other place than from an Apple repair center.

  • Logic board liquid damage of macbook pro retina display late 2012

    there were water spilled on my macbook pro 13" retina (late 2012) and I sent it to apple service in Trieste, Italy and they said that the logic board is damaged and I need a new one with a new top case.. which costs as buying a new macbook..is there any suggestions or alternative cheaper way to fix it?!
    i will in any price cheaper than buying a new one..

    I see nasty corrosion on that logic board
    whoever told you they could genuinely "fix" it , lied to you
    I also know for 100% certain theyre not going to desolder any of those micro-connections and add new components.
    among the laptop repair community, thats called L.C.D. (lost cause destruction) , ...when it exceeds new-unit replacement cost.

  • Which logic boards will fit my Macbook 5,1?

    I am looking to upgrade my late 2008 Macbook and would like to replace the logic board instead of purchasing a new computer (I know it's expensive, and I've already upgraded to 8GB of RAM and 750GB storage). Which logic boards are compatible with my Macbook 5,1? I have a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, so I could feasibly upgrade to the 2.4 GHz late 2008 logic board, but I would like to upgrade quite a bit if possible.
    Any input is greatly appreciated!

    The 5,1 Aluminum Unibody was an oddball in the MacBook series. It doesn't fit in with the rest of the White and Black MacBooks or the 13" MacBook Pros. The 2.4Ghz 5,1 Aluminum Unibody Logic board would fit though.

  • Bad Logic Board on a 2012 MacBook Pro

    I bought a new MacBook Pro five weeks ago.  About a week ago it refused to charge.  I took it into the Apple store and they told me the logic board is defective and would have to be replaced.  Very dissapointing as this is my first Mac.
    I am concerned that I will continue to have problems with this computer.  Any thoughts?  Apple refused to replace the computer and said If I had two more hardware issues then they could return it. 
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    don't worry about what may happen in the future.  It will just give you unnecessary anxiety.  It was most likley just a faulty logic board and nothing more.

  • 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:

  • After using apogee duet, mac's built in mic & logic's track headers for recording are not working properly.  How do I fix it?

    I use logic 9
    After using apogee duet for mac, I was away from my home studio without the duet and wanted to record vocals via the internal microphone on my mac book pro.  (Obviously, I know it wouldn’t be the same quality.  I wanted to do it as a draft, because I had a melody in my head and wanted to record it so I could remember it later.)
    After opening up a project I was unable to record audio.  I noticed the track headers had changed.  Sometimes the “record ready” button was missing.  But whether it was there or wasn’t, the same thing kept happening… After pressing the “record button” or the “record ready” button a window would pop up that said, “No input source selected!”  I tried to trouble shoot by configuring track header and by going to prefereces>audio>devices>core audio, and switched the “input device” to “built in microphone,” and things like that, but I still would get the same pop up window indicating “no input source selected.”   To be thorough, in preferences under “core audio,” I have selected universal track mode, 24 bit recording, and software monitoring.
    Do I need to reset something?
    If your recommendations help fix the immediate issue temporarily, how do I keep it from reverting back to the same problem if I feel like switching between the duet interface and the built in mic in the future?  How do I keep it permanently from this malfunction?  It seems like this is something simple that would be addressed.
    Also, as I was trying to think of anything it could possibly be.  I wonder if it could be the driver I installed for an old m-box2 possibly causing an issue.  After getting my new mac book pro, I downloaded a driver for m-box2 (the second generation that came out in 2005 and used pro tools LE.)  I used the m-box on my previous computer and it worked well.  Since I purchased a new macbook, I tried to use it on my new computer, but since the m-box2 is a 32 bit system, it didn’t work very well, which is why I got the duet.  I don’t know if that could possibly be messing anything up.  If so, should I uninstall it somehow?
    Thanks

    Ok, think this through... you've changed from a stereo source to a mono source.
    The message reads: “No input source selected!”
    On the track you're trying to record there is an Input section directly underneath the  I/O label. Click and hold to select the correct Input for that track.
    Also, the project you opened was saved with the Duet's driver/interface parameters.. if you open the same project without the audio interface Logic will do it's best to pick I/O that's compatible but I've never seen any DAW do this perfectly.. it always takes a small amount of user input. Especially since you've changed from the Apogee to the internal mic.

  • 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.

  • 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"

  • Where Can i buy a Brand New Logic Board for my Macbook Pro?

    My Macbook Pro (Mid 2010 13") logic board got fried, so i was just wondering if possible, where i could get a new logic board. Also, would the new 2011 i7 logic board (if purchasable), for the 13" as well be compatible with the chassis/body of my mac?

    Apple would be the main supplier of any replacement parts.

  • My 2008 MacBook Pro logic board died and I'm pulling the hard drive out.  What Apple computers have room for a 2nd 2 inch hard drive?

    The logic board on my 2008 MacBook Pro died.  But the hard drive is fine.  What Apple computer has room for me to insert my old drive as a 2nd hard drive?

    You can add it to any unibody MacBook Pro in the optical drive bay, if you can get along without an optical drive and you aren't worried about voiding the warranty (or if the machine you buy isn't under warranty). You can't add it to a Macbook Air, Mac Mini, or iMac, but you can easily put it into a Mac Pro. And of course with any Mac you can put it into an external enclosure and use it as an external drive.
    See my second post in this thread for a couple of enclosure recommendations:

  • (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:

    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!

    machine extremely dirty/dusty
    mould is starting to grow inside machine
    You titled the thread something that would imply your logic board just failed for some reason.  Then you ask if it si common.  Logic board failures are not common on Airs.  Airs in general are very reliable.  They are extremely popular and regularly have the fewest posts on the forums (which implies fewer problems).  However, I would expect failures to be more common among machines that are "dirty/dusty" or that can be described as having mold growing in them.
    This doesn't really sound like a failure due to a manufacturing defect so much as a failure as a result of the environmental conditions in which the machine was kept.
