Repeated logic board failures on 2018 MacBook Pro

It's so sad and Depressing, that apple didn't consider my laptop, my laptop was in perfect condition until one day out of no where my laptop just started to glitch and shutdown, when I turn it back on it my screen is black with vertical lights and lines on it. I already went to apple service center and they said there's no indication of Liquid Contact, corrosion and unauthorized modification, they don't know as well what's the main problem of my laptop, they want me to pay 650 dollars for them to be able to fix it. I tried to call them that it wasn't my fault, it's their products fault that they sell me a defective item, but still they won't guarantee it. Such a Disappointment

I also have the MBP late 2013 and it is still working fine up until now. I never changed anything with regard to my work/ workload. I still edit videos using the same software (Final Cut Pro.) Nothing really changed but for some reason, my MBP 2018 gave up on me. It's really disappointing because I invested so much time and effort working just to afford this. I just needed an answer on what caused the logic board to fail so early but no one has ever given me the answer and it's sad and I think a bit unfair. They advertised this as a POWERFUL machine. Well, turns out that it's not powerful enough for video editors like me, which again is weird because my late 2013 MBP works just fine with video editing.

I JUST HOPE AND PRAY THESE CONCERNS WILL REACH YOU, APPLE. 😔

Hi Gregg,

I am facing the same issue on my Macbook 2018 model.

My mid 2018 MacBook Pro also just died out of nowhere — logic board issue, as well, according to the Genius Bar.

sigh

I agree! They should take an action with the recall program for mac 2018 pro models.

We have the same problem with our MBPro 13" !!!

Any suggestion so as to push for a recall program!

It would certainly be nicer if instead they sent Time Cook to personally hand you a brand new computer after yours encountered a failure out of the about 20 million Macs per year Apple has shipped.

Hello, Loby.

It worked. They will replace it for free. Thanks for the info!

We have the same problem but apple just told me that I should pay 700 dollars just to fix it. I slightly used my mac. 😭 where are you from?

Model of my Mac is 13inch 2018, A1989 and Yes thr problem is thr Logic Board and Yes there’s no damage on my laptop. How Can I say to them that I have the same problem with you?

Even I had the same problem with my macbook. It stopped working after 1 yr 2 months. When I took for diagnostics, they said it’s a logic board failure and it costs around $750. As u mentioned even I’m worried to spend money on replacing the logic board and hate to see it fail after couple months. This is not at all expected from Apple. The most unreliable Mac book ever. (2018 MacBook 13 with Touch Bar)

No one here can help you if you feel insecure repairing your computer because it MIGHT fail again. You are quite right -- It might fail again. It also might not fail again for some time.

Apple sold 20 million Macs last year. That is about 400,000 per week, or more than 57,000 a DAY. You have a sample of ONE Mac. Your experience, good or bad, moves the needle on actual reliability not at bit. You have too small a sample to draw any statistically-significant conclusions.

When Consumer Reports magazine does their rigorous annual survey of their readers, they repeatedly conclude that Macintosh Hardware is quite a bit more reliable than any other computer brand, and survey-responders are much more satisfied with Apple support than any other brand. Note: their survey is based on their subscribers, which may not be a random sample.
