I was examining the logic board to determine if there have been any liquid damages to the machine - none found, to the best of my knowledge. Laptop Specs Apple MacBook Pro 13 (Mid-2012) Series Apple MacBook Pro 13 (Mid-2012). I am not sure if the logic board is fried, though after examining the whole laptop some more, the previous owner may have tried to do some fixing/upgrading and failed (foam missing, a bracket for the HDD missing also). I wasn't intending to remove the heat sink, but the thermal paste was already worn out. More or less, I was taking it apart for inspectional purposes only. or I'm basically seeking the opinions of more experienced members of the Community (such as yourself ?) that can verify my attempt to personally fix the device are not worth it, and are better left to Apple's Geniuses.?Īctually, I haven't gotten a new logic board yet. I assume you got a new logic and are asking about grabbing some white thermal paste off Ebay.or? since youve already indicated the logic board is fried.? What are my options at this point? Will it be worth it if I try to c lean the old paste from the heat sink & processor, then reapply as instructed (on or other reputable DIY repair sites)? Or, because the battery is slightly damaged in addition to the lack of processor-to-heat sink connectivity, would it be easier/better in the long run to make an appointment at my nearest Apple Store for a Genius Bar consultation?Īnd why again are you worried about re-applying thermal paste to the heat sink to CPU on logic. While examining the interior, the battery also seemed to have signs of wear (the screw tab closest to the optical drive appears cracked) no damage/leakage of battery cells detected. In other words, as I completed part 3 of Step 27 (" Carefully remove the heat sink from the processor."), the heat sink could be removed immediately after I unscrewed it from the logic board - no need to use the spudger to loosen the paste. As I examined the heat sink and the thermal paste connecting it to the processor, I found that the paste had completely dried up. Per the tutorial on, I took a look inside the laptop and was able to safely remove the logic board.

The MBP suffered the symptoms of a failed logic board - no power, LEDs don't light up on either the side of the Mac or the MagSafe Adapter. The device was advertised by the seller as needing repair, and I wanted to experiment in repairing such a problem.

My warranty is expiring in a month so I'm wondering whether I should get my pc checked before it's over.I recently acquired a mid-2012 MacBook Pro that is in need of repair. It is a combination of stunning performance and portability. This ultra-thin notebook is powerful and light. I should note that this is happening during the summer, during which the temperatures outside float around 32 ☌ (89 ☏), but I'm still worried it could keep happening later on during the year. This MacBook follows up on the MacBook Pro series introduced in mid-2012 similar to the MacBook pro MD101LL A. The aluminum body of the computer gets very hot (especially near the hinge where the screen is attached) and in some cases my fingers can feel the unconfortable temperature even when just typing on the keys. I've also experienced cases where, while being on charge but idle (or running non-intensive tasks such as text editing or watching non-HD videos), the PC would at some point begin spinning the fans to very high speeds and reaching temperatures between 85 ☌ (185 ☏) and 95 ☌ (203 ☏). I've seen 105 ☌ being reported as a critical temperature at which the system might decide to shut down to protect itself, so I'm worried that this might be an unnatural temperature and that it might be affecting the lifespan of my PC. I've had my MacBook reach 100 ☌ (212 ☏) up to 105 ☌ (221 ☏) in some situations (such as when compiling software). I've seen a lot of claims about MacBooks running at high temperatures, but I've hardly seen numbers as high as mine. The processor is a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7. I'm currently using a mid 2012 Macbook Pro with the 15" high resolution screen add-on (it's the model that was released alongside the new retina versions).
