Logic board and Motherboard in M1

I don’t know who to believe in.

I suspect there is a break down in translation. You can believe what ever you want.

What is the difference to you this detail, to keep hammering on the question...(?)

Let them fix the issue and hand back your computer, no?

The feedbacks about that official reseller aren’t good: I just want to make sure they’re doing the work and they are doing it perfectly.

Take it somewhere else then, if no other option then you are stuck with their service—you can not change that.

I have no further comments.

Ii would hope it is a warranty repair.

There is only ONE circuit-board inside an Apple-Silicon M1 MacBook Pro.

It contains the processor, ROM, RAM, the Wi-Fi, all the peripheral interfaces, and the boot drive, and everything is soldered down for maximum reliability, and is NOT replaceable separately.

You will get a new Main Logic Board + Touch ID (when replacing the Main Logic Board you MUST replace Touch ID too)

Grant Bennet-Alder posted an accurate photograph of an M1's MLB.

Motherboard = Main Logic Board

You can only replace the Main Logic Board at an Apple Store or AASP because they have specific software, if you do it anywhere else you will have an expensive paperweight.

Hi,

I'm not sure M1 MacBook Pro is separated logic board and motherboard, though I suppose you can't.

Hi vincenzojrs,

As far as I'm aware, the main logic board is indeed the motherboard itself.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to replace the logic board?

Yes. Same exactly—

"Mother board" is Windows speak

"Logic board " is Apple speak
