They might further test it by booting to your OS from another Mac to see if the issue persists. If you do have it repaired make sure you leave explicit instructions for the technician to test it using Motion (leave detailed instructions on how to) in your OS. I'm sure you're aware of the REP covering the intermittent black screen issue, if your Mac is affected I would highly encourage you to contact Apple.Įdit- Didn't realize you were running into kernel panics. Thats about as close to personal experience that I can offer. I had several customers who worked heavily with video (one was multiple mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros for a news channel) who I never heard from again following logic board replacements. The majority of repairs I've seen with this have been resolved with the logic board replacement. My point, don't be so quick to jump on people asking questions. To the best of my knowledge (haven't been a technician for a couple years now) there's still a lot of disagreement in the Apple repair community as to what actually fixes it.

This particular issue was a cat and mouse game between software fixes and hardware level fixes for several years. In addition to that - while the logic board seems like the end all fix to issues like this the fact is that software can be just as likely a culprit. Not all have quite the same level of quality control but they still reserve the right to re-use components as necessary provided they have been confirmed as good. Almost every major manufacturer, including automotive brands, follows this practice. Not to mention the environmental impact that would be had if such recycling wasn't in place. Reasoning behind this? Apple would need to manufacture substantially more replacement components than Macs it ships if they didn't re-use parts that had been fixed and tested out as ok. Is it illegal? No, Apple's warranty (AppleCare) and service agreements (what you sign when you drop something off for repair) explicitly state that they can at their discretion use new or refurbished parts, that have been tested to ensure they function reliably, for repairs.

The only exception to this that comes to mind was the MacBook Pro NVIDIA REP, where the revision one boards were used until a revision two board was released to fix the issue. Only Apple could say for sure, since they are the ones who oversee the parts, but I've never noticed a trend in replacement part reliability.
Is the failure rate any different between the two? In my experience (well over 1,000 repairs over 6~ years) not really. Technicians (both in and outside of Apple) have no way to order a guaranteed "new" part unless they just happen to order it in a short time frame following the release of a new Mac.
If you require a service part for a Mac that is a year or two old then it's almost guaranteed that it will be reconditioned. Basically, if you require a part for a Mac that is only a couple months old then the service part you receive will likely be brand new. Apple uses a mix of new and reconditioned parts, making no attempt to differentiate between the two. at least this is my theory.Įx-Genius and ex-tech for AASP who is still ACMT certified here. so, i don't think, John Doe even has to wait down the road for the issues that this particular model is affected with to show up. so, if John Doe can run Motion 5 and stuff without his newly repaired computer crashing with the same gpu-related symptom as before then i would consider the new logic board somehow fixing it. at least, for me, Motion 5 in mavericks and mountain lion will trigger a KP without fail. my assumption is that John Doe should be able to fire up Motion 5 right there on the spot and see if his newly repaired computer will crash or not. So, scenario is this, John Doe has same computer as me and has their logic board replaced.

whether or not this will fix the gpu-related crashes is one thing and is why i created this thread to ask if people who have this mbp and had their logic board replaced are now free of the gpu-related crashes. my expectation is that they will be using a refurbished logic board. i don't even expect that since this model mbp has been discontinued since feb of 2011. I don't think that when i send my mbp in for a logic board replacement that there is any guarantee that they will use a brand new logic board. Your dealer will put a new engine in old car? my concern is whether or not the logic board they use to replace mine is working and free of gpu-related crashes. where and how they get logic boards for this model is not my concern.
If i were to have my logic board replaced, it would be through apple. Where did you get "it is illegal to sell a used part" from? You explain what a logic board is when my question wasn't even about that.
