If it hasn't gotten wet, you would probably be better off with a $330 flat rate repair from Apple. Why do you think the logic board needs replacing?

I buy damaged MacBooks and repair them, this one has a EFI password. I can delete them but I maked a mistake and after that the display wouldn't start.
Sorry for my terrible English

How about doing some diagnostics to see if you have a different problem. Hate for you to buy a logic board only to find out it was something else (which might even be cheaper!)

Can you plug in an external monitor to see if you see anything on it?

Please give us the last four figures of your serial number so we know your exact machine and how old it is.

You CAN just go out and buy a new logic board. It will work well, so long as you purchase a working board. But it will cost you $500+ for the board. That's about halfway to a brand new 13" Macbook Pro, depending on your configuration.
A better option is to figure out what exactly is going on with your board and try to fix it. First step: plug in an external monitor and let us know if it works.
