Would an 1236 logic board fit into an a1211 case?

Hi all,
I'm just curious, I picked up a 2.33 ghz a1211 macbook pro for very cheap, and was very disappointing to find out that apple decided to not make drivers for the x1600 work on mountain lion, even thought the drivers work just great in windows 7 x64. Anyways, I am going to upgrade the hard drive, and the super drive doesnt work so I am replacing that too. But my main question is since I'm gonna have the laptop completely open anyways, If I were to buy a cheap a1226 2.4ghz logic board, which I believe works with mountain lion, would it fit into the case properly?

No, I don't believe so - the other components (power, RAM, etc) are also in different physical configurations, so there's no way to attach them to a new MB in an older tower.

Will a late 2007 logic board fit in a early 2006 chassis?

I have a 2006 MBP and the GPU went out in it. Common problem, so I've been told. I am just going to replace the logic board and was wondering if the late 2007 logic boards fit in the early 2006 body. If not, what will fit? Just trying to get a little more bang for my buck. It's a 17 inch, by the way.

The answer is no for any one who looks at this.

Will iPhone 3Gs fit into iPhone 3G cases? Any difference in size/Controls?

Will the iPhone 3Gs fit into iPhone 3G cases? Any difference in size/Controls?

I purchased an incase slider before my 32 GB 3GS arrived. When I put the phone in it today, it was so incredibly tight that I almost couldn't get the phone back out of it. I called the incase company and they said that despite Apple's claims that the phones are identical it is possible that the 32 GB phone is slightly thicker and is causing problems with certain slider cases. Incase is nice enough to send me a replacement (even though I bought from apple store online) when they have verified that their cases fit the new phones. My previous iPhone was a 2G so I could not tell if the new case would have fit the 3G. I guess, try before you buy.

Will a 14" iBook Logic board fit inside a 12" iBook?

I've seen pictures of the logic boards on various retailer sites, and want to upgrade my 1.0GHz 12" to as fast as possible. I was thinking about the 1.33 GHz 12" but if the 1.42GHz 14" fits then that would be pretty sweet... does anybody have any insight on this?

"I really don't think it's worth the bother....just get a 12" one."
Whether or not it is "worth the bother" is soley a matter of what you consider a bother. To some, and I suspect this of the OP, it is very rewarding to do repairs and modifications, and particularliry mods that have not been done before. I say kudos to the OP for trying. It may be cheaper to buy a used 1.33GHz ibook but doing his proposed mod, whether he is successful or not, will make him a little better off than the "can't do's".
In fact, on this forum all I ever read is "have it looked at" or "send it to Apple" or "it is not user replaceable" etc. Nobody here ever seems to entertain the concept of actually doing something for him/herself.

What Logic Board fits an iBook G3 900 mhz?

Hi!
I have an iBook G3 12" 900mhz with a bad logic board. I'm planning to replace it. Can I fit all kinds of dual USB iBook Logic Boards in there?
Cheers!

What are the symptoms?
You may know that enough Dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from the logic board problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and if the symptoms look familiar, give Apple a call. If the iBook qualifies, it's a free fix.
You can find the original purchase date of the iBook, by entering its serial number into the box toward the bottom right of Apple's main support page under "About Your Support Coverage."
If it is past the three-year time limit (which it probably is), try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations (NOT Customer Service--they can't help you) and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case.
If the answer from Apple is absolutely, positively, "NO!" and the symptoms are those of the classic logic board failure described on the FAQ page, you may want to consider trying the shim fix suggested by John Sawyer in the Apple Discussions iBook G3 (Dual USB) Displays Forum:
[Y]ou can often fix this yourself by removing the iBook's bottom housing, and placing a shim of any sort, about 1mm to 1.5mm thick, onto the raised square on the bottom shield. I use a Scotch mounting square--you can get them in hardware stores and many grocery stores. When you reinstall the bottom case, it will press against this shim, which will press against the graphics chip, and may allow the chip to come into better contact with the logic board.

Will an iMac 1.25GHz G4 20" logic board fit in a 17" base?

I have an opportunity to get an iMac 20" G4 1.25GHz logic board that has USB 2.0. The tech specs say that the 17 & 20 are both 10.6" in diameter and they look to have the same I/O connectors. Does anyone know if the 20" will fit in the 17" housing?

Would you recommend logic board replacement?

My MBP is working well, except it heats up quickly with CPUs running idle at 60-65C and all the way up to 80C under pressure. It becomes so hot below, where the battery is, that it can be barely touched without getting burned.
Having said that, i.e. in the absence of other specific problems, is a replacement of the logic board recommended no matter what? Are new logic board arguably better/improved than those in the initial shipments?
Thank you for the advice.

For so much money, you should expect nothing but what is advertised! Once it's shipping, that means it should be ready! Someone who buys a new type of car would not accept 'early adopters face these risks' as an answer to problems making the car unusable, and the same applies to computers. I don't think you should be so lenient. Additionally, people are having trouble with new Macbooks.
But of course such forums as these are no way to judge what fraction of computers out there have problems. Had mine worked straight away, I probably wouldn't even know that this forum existed.

Can you tell me if this logic board fits my macbook please?

Hi, I have a late 2006 A1181 white macbook 2.0ghz with a dead logic board and I saw this A1181 820-2279-A T8300 2.4ghz board for sale for a reasonable price, I think it is a late 2008 board but it looks the same thing as my old board, could this board possibly fit my late 2006 macbook?
Thanks,
Paul

I figured out the answer, it's...nope...

New logic board fitted & posible os failure

Sorry if this is long winded. My son (just finished Uni but lives 200mls away) has a 33 month old iMac G5, recently it would not always power (eg no electricity) up before finally failing.
It was taken to the local Apple Centre who said the logic (motherboard) had failed (due to a FireWire prob), a new one was flitted this week under 3yr warranty, however the shop said it will not boot up with the existing Hard Drive (but will with another) due to an OS failure (not covered under warranty, they said the Disk Utility is greyed out, (guessing they put it in a caddy). They said they will do several formats of the drive before reinstalling the OS on existing drive at a cost of £100!!!!!!! Now I have some questions as they need to know ASAP.
1. Could the logicboard failing, affect the OS or via versa.
2. Is the shop trying some rip off on cost of multiple reformatting saying it will take 2hrs to do?
3. Would we be better off getting a new hard drive and installing OS ourselves, or get shop to put in new HD rather than multireformat old HD to save on time? And then get some data recovery specialist to get all his photo’s off (although shop says it can’t be done).
4.Is there a known issue with the board failing so early board?
Thanks in advance.

Hi ramasay-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple Discussion boards
I will answer to the best of my ability.
1. The logic board failing could have caused something on or with the drive to fail. Simply ask for the old drive back, get an external FireWire case, and access the drive that way. It is possible that a utility like DiskWarrior might be able to recover most of your files.
2. Actually it might take longer to format depending on the size of the drive.
3. Depending on the model iMac and your technical abilities replacing the hard drive yourself might be the cheapest option. Make sure doing so will not void any warranty that you might have on the logic board replacement. It may be wise to have the shop install a new and larger hard drive and install the original system on that.
4. Many things can cause a logic board to fail. To have it repaired under warranty or AppleCare is a beautiful thing. You may check here to see if you are covered by any of the repair extension programs for known covered issues with iMacs: iMac Programs

Logic Board fits?

Hello!
I have a MacBook Pro Core2Duo 2.2GHz and the Logic Board is broken (Apple part number 661-4340). Now I want to buy an used Logic Board with 2.16GHz C2D (part number 661-4229).
Will it fit?

No, those boards are not interchangeable.

Will my MoBo fit into my new case?

I was hoping to buy the antec1200 computer case. I was told that holes in my mobo might not match up to those in the antec1200. I have an Intel G33 chipset. Will it fit?

The Antec Twelve Hundred supports ATX, MicroATX, Mini-ITX motherboards. The motherboard tray has several pre-drilled and threaded holes that you would just put the supplied stand-offs into so they will match the screw pattern of the motherboard. For those that want to say its ATX only look here http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=Njkz and look under Features.

Logic board interchange.......

Will the 12" 1 GHz logic board fit into the 867 MHz casing? I am under the impression that there is a difference in the port layout. Thanks in advance for any help.

Never mind......

Can applecare be extended with new logic board

My Imac is with apple having a new logic board fitted for the second time and before that they replaced the computer. Since my cover runs out in August 09 has apple been known to extend the cover when replacing the logic boards, if so how do you go about it.

If your iMac is still less than a year old, you can purchase the extended AppleCare out-of-pocket. If you already have an extended warranty, then you can no longer extend it any further.
Technically, replacement parts (such as a logic board) can have longer warranties than the rest of the computer. This is because replacement parts are covered by either a 90-day warranty, or the remainder of the limited/extended warranty, whichever is longer. This means that if you had a logic board installed on the last day of your warranty, the logic board would still be under warranty for another three months even after the computer's warranty had expired.

Early 2011 MacBook Pro logic board upgrade question

I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro 17'. Will a late 2011 logic board fit in the unibody of an early 2011? My logic board crashed and I'm looking to install a new one myself. I just need to see if I can upgrade mine at all. I want to purchase a logic board with a faster processor and hopefully not as prone to the GPU failure. Any recommendations?

You have the problem discussed in a number of discussions on this forum, most notably here -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0.
Basically the GPU in the machine was poorly soldered onto the logic board. If you take the machine into an Apple Store, they will recommend a logic board replacement. This, however, will not permanently fix the problem. The only permanent fix is to have the GPU 'reballed' - this will cost about $160 and some services offer up to a year's warranty on their work.
I had the problem back in January and, as I was under AppleCare, had my logic board replaced gratis. Once I'm left with no warranty, I will have the GPU reballed.
Take a look at some of the discussion and see some of the photos which are just like yours. The only remedy is the reball.
Good luck,
Clinton

RAM upgrade MBP 7.1 fail. Only stock RAM works. Logic board problem?

pulling my hair out here.
I have recently uprgraded my mid 2010 mbp to mountain lion and thought i would upgrade as much as i could but ran straight into frustration town.
after a full day trying 8 different types and amounts of RAM, my MBP will only boot to a useable state with the stock ram it came with.
I made an appointment with a 'genius' at the apple store (the annoyance of having to call a condescending punk a genius is just too much to handle) and had said 'genius' disappear with my mbp for a half hour or so. Once he returns he tells me it is logic board problem and 'boy you aren't going to like the price of the repair'. F'n' right, genius!
My question is this:
would a faulty logic board allow the stock ram to work but NOTHING else?
secondary question: anyone else notice a slowing down of operations with mountain lion?

In your original post I got the impression that your MBP worked with the original RAM. Apparently that was a misconception on my part. My suggestions are to first run an Apple Hardware Test and see what clues, if any it offers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
You may have to start it by holding OPTION D.
Next I suggest that you look over this user tip document and follow the procedures that apply to your MBP and OS:

Kappy may have some additional ideas.
