Unrepairable MacBook Pro?
Hi there, can anyone help.
I recently sent my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) to be repaired by an independent store, to which they informed the logic board is unrepairable.
Below is what was emailed to me regarding the state of the device;
”We have attempted the work and unfortunately have found the logic board to be unrepairable; the issue is related to the PCH which is shorting PP3V3_SUS to ground. Unfortunately the PCH cannot be replaced, due to the fact that it can't be bought new (was supplied to factories assembling the boards in factory only) and it requires factory BGA machinery to solder. This is also programmed to be paired with other chips on the logic board (like the SPI ROM), and if the programming doesn't match, the MacBook won't work correctly.”
I’m not too familiar with the inner components stated above but am wondering if there is anything that can be done to resolve this problem?
Is such a problem only repairable by Apple or is this a case of starting new and buying a new MacBook Pro?
Any help is hugely appreciated, thanks!
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15
