Replacing Logic Board in MacBook Pro

You cannot swap parts on the M-series Macs since they are paired. Some functions & features will not work when used with a different Logic Board. These M-series Macs are nothing like the older non-USB-C Intel Macs where parts could be easily swapped between systems. If you cannot get an official Apple repair from Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, then you should not get the laptop repaired. The only exception would be if the repair tech actually repaired your Logic Board, but there are not very many people who have the necessary knowledge or skills to do it properly.

Edit: Plus many of these newer Macs are tied to people's AppleID and also MDM systems so that the previous owner may still be in control of the Logic Board. It is not worth the risk.

If truly a new Apple-direct board, that quote seems in the ballpark. I recall Macbook Pro boards ten years ago reported here as US$700 for 15-inch model Macbook Pros.

The problem is that, in places without an Apple presence, we see a lot of reports of shoddy repairs and used parts sold and new. Caveat emptor!

⚠️ However, HWTech has more hands-on experience with Mac hardware than anyone I've worked beside here for many years, and I highly recommend heeding his wise council.

Hello,

I would strongly suggest that you get your MacBook repaired by an Apple certified technician. Even if there are no Apple Stores around you, there may still be Apple Authorized Service Providers. Mail-in repairs are also a great option if you do not have a repair center easily accessible.

With Apple certified repairs your device is repaired using only genuine Apple Parts by Apple trained service technicians.

You can learn all about your service and support options here: Mac Repair & Service - Apple Support.

I hope this helps!

Unfortunately I cannot find an estimate for that exact repair. Apple only mentions that the cost would be an estimated $299 if you have AppleCare+.
