This of course will add labor costs on top of the already expensive replacement logic board. I would not want it to cost more than 50-60% of the used computers current value.ĪND…this assumes that the user does the logic board replacement themselves. To me…if I needed to replace the logic board on a computer. Of course what someone considers a reasonable price for a replacement logic board (compared to the current value of the computer) can vary depending on the person.

If a replacement logic board costs anywhere near that…then it's not worth it…since you could purchase a 2nd 100% working 2011 13" MBP for the same amount. Unless you can find a replacement logic board really cheap.įor example… a 2011 13" MacBook Pro if it was 100% working is probably worth about $350. The ram slots are part of the logic board.Īnd just like when folks have liquid spill issues (where a replacement logic board is almost always the only solution)…replacement logic boards are usually too expensive to make replacement a viable option. I figured that, besides telling me what I already know, they might be able to tell me exactly what is causing the issue which may help determine if it's fixable.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or know how to remedy it permanently? My Apple Care has expired so I either need to fix it myself or completely replace the entire computer. No matter what I do the computer won't stay on for more than 25minutes or so without freezing up and beeping indicating a RAM error. This seemed to cure the computer's issues, but a couple of weeks later (now) they have returned. Eventually, after a particularly crippling episode that the machine seemingly wouldn't recover from, I replaced the RAM with the original 4gb cards, which did nothing, and then (after reinstalling the aftermarket RAM) loosened the screws on the RAM bay and then made them snug again (I was told that the logic board may be warped from overheating causing the connection to go bad so loosening the screws relieves the pressure and allows you to restore the connection). A while ago it developed an issue whereby it would randomly die and make a beeping noise after some research I determined that it was a RAM related issue so I would remove the RAM from the bays and then reinstall, that would typically fix it (temporarily of course).
