Difficult

My Problem

I was given this MacBook Pro for parts as Apple said it required a logic board. The owner poured a cup and a half of water out of the keyboard...and bought a new MacBook Air. It booted but had obvious faults. The logic board looked fine but the Mag-safe board didn't.

My Fix

The new Mag-safe board arrived in Australia 3 days after ordering...and was fitted. The battery charge light went orange. The battery charged fully and the light went green. The NVM was reset and Yosemite loaded. I'm very happy with the results.

My Advice

The Mag-safe board was designed by Apple to save the logic board from damage...which it did admirably. I was pleased to see iFixit supply a genuine part. The repair was easy after reading the guides. Good quality tools make all the difference.
