Chosen Solution
Hello! I have Macbook Pro Retina 13 late 2013 with 4 GB of RAM. I had a problem with nothing showing on the screen. I had it diagnosed in Apple certified service center and they said that I should change the logic board. Which cost a lot. I don’t think, this is cost-efficient. But if I could upgrade my MacBook the same time with better CPU and GPU, more RAM, I would do it. And the question is: can I buy later version logic, for example Logic board for Macbook Pro 13 Retina A1502 2.9 GHz (I5-5287U) 8GB, Early 2015, and have it installed on my late 2013 model. Or at least the same year version, but with little bit better CPU and more RAM. Best regards, Vasiliy
First let’s try to do our own diagnostics. I don’t have a monetary interest. What will the machine do on boot? Lights, sounds, any screen flicker, screen white or black? Will it work with an external monitor? Replacing the logic board is the very last and most costly solution. Any thing of interest in the machines history? Dropped, water spills, erratic behavior, previous repairs?
