Excellent video! I was wondering if could do the swap, but thanks to you I now I can!
Glad I could help!
thank you for this video helped me replace my logic board on my unibody late Macbook 2011 to logicboard from 2012, thx again good tutorial
most welcome
thanks for the video!
My pleasure!
Unfortunately I'm currently shopping for logic boards. I own a mid 09 a1286 2.5 core 2 duo. Is it possible to upgrade the logic board to a newer year? If I install a a1286 2011 i5 in my 2009 shell would I face in issues outside of normal??
Great video! Any recommendations on which replacement logic board to purchase?
(My 2012 or 2013 MacBook Pro 13”, with i7, is non-responsive. No lights or fan sounds. The logic board has some white oxidation, which was removed with a touch of alcohol and compressed air).
Is the problem likely only the logic board?
hello i have macbook pro 2011 with hello burnt. I want to update to the mid 2012 card. does this card support MacBook Pro 2011?
I have replaced Late 2011 board with Mid 2012 and the LCD connector is different so it won't work?
Will this work on the early 2011 model?
Awesome video. I already made some upgrades on my old Late 2011 MBPro (changed baterry, fan, thermal paste, HDD for SDD, upgraded RAM) and I would say it's working even better than when I bought it back in 2012.
Was wondering if changing the motherboard to a MID 2012 is worth it or not.
thx, if nothing is wrong with the logicboard don't replace it.
Nice tutorial, I was wondering if this swap was possible and everything looks like a direct swap except for the display data cable.
My 2011 macbook pro had an i5 originally, I'm considering buying a 2012 i7 logic board. One of the concerns I have is the battery, do you think they have the same/similar specs?
Thx, if your battery needs replacement you could get a 3rd party one.
May I know where did you bought the logic board for mid 2012 13-inch macbook pro? Thanks
I have got the logicboards from aliexpress, links have been shared in the description.
Hey I m in huge problem .. while replacing the dc/power board on my logic board , I accidentally broke the port/stand on which the right speaker cable rests(pried it out). The right speaker doesn't function now and since it's embedded with the logic board I am afraid if there is any hack to get it to work or not; I can't afford to buy a logic board at the moment. Can you pls suggest me some solution. Can this port b fixed somehow? 😟 Model :mid 2014 a1398
Ohh My, if I got you right you pryed out the Right speaker socket from the logic board instead of just prying out the right speaker connector Right, if thats the case it can be fixed, you will need to show it to a shop who fixes macs (has they should have the right tools to do the fix), also again it will depend on the rate of damage, and the fix should be done in a few hours.
@@psycolana thnx for the reply n yes u got me correct. N I will get it fixed with apple repair experts soon.
A question please. Do I have to change the LCD screen LVDS cable. Because I did not see you changing it when you change the logic board. I trimming the 2011 LVDS cable like your way does work and dose not burn the LCD screen.
no you do not have to replace
No you do not have to change the LVDS cable
just trim the LVDS, helps in connecting the LVDS to LB socket
If i chipped my display connector incorrectly is there a way to replace the display connector to fit the 2012 motherboard
HI you can replace the connector cable yourself but a bit difficult or seek help ( czcams.com/video/DSolxo06yb0/video.html ) the buying link for the connector cable is in the description
Can you make a video replacing a 15" late 2011 Llboard to a 2012.thx for this video
yes done link Video Tutorial czcams.com/video/qoOhMlceQAY/video.html
I have a MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011) A1278, is it compatible with the 2012 board?
hey he’s upgrading a 2011 model to a 2012, the early and late 2011 we’re pretty similar, so yes it’s possible with yours :)
i have the early 2011 and i’m going to give this a go sometime soon :)
will this work on a late 2011 with 2.3 ghz i5 to mid 2012 2.9 ghz i7? or only with 2.5 ghz mid 2012?
any mid 2012 13"
Can i replace 2012 macbook pro 13 inch logicboard with 2011 macbook pro 13 inch logicboard?
Kindly help.
yes, you can
When I want to reinsall operating system by recovery mode I only see Mountain Lion but I have High Sierra. Is this a problem?
Hope you have backed up your data on another drive? Do a fresh install of High Sierra on the drive it should work, then update files etc using the backup.
I think the logic board's system has mountain lion on it, that's why
So swapping/upgrading logic board you loose all your data (pictures/videos/docs) from the storage drive?
no you won't, only if you make a fresh install, to be on a safer side better to take a backup of the drive.
@@harshpatwardan9277 Thanks for the reply, my 2013 A1502 MBP has a proprietary connector on the SSD... how do I back it up?
have a look at the OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD, also you could ref to video czcams.com/video/lWFYQ1pqlcE/video.html skip to 0:41 to avoid loud music hope this helps.
@@DaveRod831 You could use a standard NVMe SSD and get an adapter (M.2 NVME SSD to 12+16 Pin Adapter for Upgrading MacBook Pro) buying link is in my description
Hi I have a question for for you though, I've noticed that you replaced the heatsink but you did not replace the GPU metal sink! Was that cos you needed a different one and you got to it later or the new board won't need one? Is it ok to replace it for a i7 motherboard if my model is i5 or does it need to be i5 too? Thank you for the amazing tutorial it helped a lot but those are my two only concerns. Thank you
Hi, answers to your questions
a) New logic-board does not need the cover/comes without.
b) you can replace it with an i7 2.9ghz logocboard.
and you are most welcome.
Thank you for the reply!👍
@@psycolana
could this be possible with the 15" models?
yes its same procedure
Hello, is necessary to trim the display cable?
yes, you would need to trim the plastic part of display cable (25:20)
yes it is, helps in connecting the LVDS to LB socket
Can i replace an late 2011 i5 2.4 logic board to an mid-2012 i7 2.9?
yes you can, i have shared the buying links also you can check the links for reference in the description.

@@jairoaacastro most welcome.

hello i have macbook pro 2011 with hello burnt. I want to update to the mid 2012 card. does this card support MacBook Pro 2011?
yes, you can upgrade to the mid 2012 13inch macbook pro, it supports the late 2011 13inch macbook pro
@@psycolana can i upgrade MBP 13” late 2011 i2.5 logic board to mid-2012 i2.7?
@@jairoaacastro hi, I guess mid-2012 i2.7 is a 15" Logic board not 13"
