Hi,

Model is MQD42LL/A (A1466). 13.3”/1.8GHz/8GB/256GB.

Can anyone guide me what the correct part for the logic board of this macbook?

(btw, not sure if it is early 2015, I just selected it)

Thanks,

Ali

Technically you have a 2017 system: 13" MacBook Air 1.8 GHz Core i5

The logic board is physically the same as the older 2015, Apple populated it with a slightly faster CPU as the Intel stopped producing the older version.

There’s no need to buy a board with exactly the same specs as your old one, you might choose between other compatible ones or even upgrade, but it’s essential you have exactly the same board model. You’ll find a code on the board itself reading as 820-xxxx-x (820-3437-A probably). With that number available you won’r run the risk of a wrong purchase.
