I WAS converting all my technology to Apple products but you better believe that isn’t happening anymore - NEVER BUYING AN APPLE PRODUCT AGAIN!!įor me I got issues within 6 months after purchase ( INR 70,000 ) of my Mac Book Air. Even Apple’s cell phones can’t last more than 2 years without failing - I can’t believe people keep giving them so much money. Obviously, no tech company, Apple included, can figure out how to make a quality machine. What’s even more unbelieving, I only bought such an expensive machine because an Apple laptop was supposed to be high quality and last for years - what a joke! Don’t waste your hard earned money on such a joke of a company. They obviously know their products’ logic boards don’t work. When I question the quality of their product and asked if I had a dud, the response is we never know when this kind of stuff will happen or why - based on this thread, I think that’s a lie. How does such a major hardware component fail in such a short time? How does Apple not stand behind their products? They want half the price of a brand new MBA to fix their faulty product. I’m extremely upset and disappointed with Apple and I’ll be making it known to everyone in my circle. My machine was in excellent condition and only left the house a handful of times - never dropped it, never spilt anything on it (Guiness Bar confirmed I did nothing wrong as far as they can tell).

There are firms out there that will do board level repair like this for about the same price as you're going to pay for a different logic board.I bought a brand new Apple MacBook Air in March of 2015, fast forward to November 2017 and my MacBook has died. The cable was made shorter and the back light power pins (21V) were moved too close to a data pin (3V) resulting in machines that had fried GPUs. After all, it's the 2016 MacBook Pro models that suffered the 'flexgate' (display cable) issue where the 2015's did not.

The MacBook Pro's you referenced could very well have an issue where the pins are different. I ordered a bottom case (improperly listed as a 2007) and while every single connector lined up properly, it would not go in because of very subtle differences in where support posts and screw holes were placed - sometimes as little as a couple millimeters.Ībsolutely! Apple makes changes all of the time depending on the components they source. It's not the connectors you have to worry about, it's the screw hole locations and Apple is notorious for changing this very minor but critical detail to prevent this exact thing from happening.įor example, I just finished restoring a Mid-2007 (white) MacBook.
