My Problem

Logic board diagnosed bad by local repair shop after got whit screen and nothing to else. I ord Ed a lifetime warranty replacement from IFixit for a good price after reading through repair and seeing I could do it myself. I ordered their tools to make sure I had quality tools I would use again. That tools but overkill on price.

My Fix

Very well. Rated difficult, but this as quite easy compared to iPhone and iPad requires I've done.

My Advice

Print out the guide in color, single sided. Use tape to secure all screws on print out on the photo so right where they came from out. Keeps them ordered and easy to out right back in where they were. Read comments on the removal of the logic board to screen cable; spludger in photo isn't in the right place for removing the cable (lift the lever with spludger, the use tweezers to remove the cable by pulling slowly toward the corner of the computer case. So easy).

My Problem

RROD

My Fix

Repair was easy enough, just followed the directions. May want to watch a video or 2 on the X clips, pretty easy to destroy the whole motherboard if you screw this part up.

My Advice

The whole process was pretty easy. To do the reflow, instead of initially heating the board with the heat gun, I put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 min to uniformly heat the board before I started; it's not too hot to hurt anything. From there I heated each of the chips with the heat gun on high for about 4 minutes total and then let the motherboard sit for about an hour.

My Problem

A colleague at work had a 2012 MacBook Air that had just died, and had been quoted NZ$900 to replace the logic board. She decided instead l to just buy a new one. I said I'd give it a try to repair and get all her data back so she just gave me the dead air.

I bought a secondhand logic board through eBay for NZ$250 and the suggested tools from the ifixit guide.

My Fix

The repair went very well. I retrieved all the data off the air, and rebuilt with a fresh OS install.

My Advice

The only additional thing I did was to use a bunch of shot glasses to keep all the screws in for each step, and this made re assembly much easier.

My Problem

2011 MacBook with screen of death

My Fix

I've never even opened a computer before, but now I think I'm Steve Jobs. My Mac has been passed down, so I don't qualify for the logic board replacement & didn't have a grand to fix it. So followed the directions on how to take it apart & reaplied thermal glue. (Also reflowed) Working now! Yay!
