Q: MacBook Pro Logic Board Failure

I was using my computer just fine (2007 MBP core 2 duo) all day. Put it to sleep came back after 30 minutes and tried to wake it and it's dead. I held down the power key to shut it down then tried to restart no luck. No start up chime, no screen, keyboard seems dead as well (caps lock light does not light up), HD does not start up. The only signs of life are the white light on the screen latch that is now on, the fans are spinning and the DVD drive seems to work.

Reset the power management module and zapped the PRAM, no luck.

MBP 2007 Core 2 duo 2.2, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

    You're right, I don't "know" that; however, they can certainly visit Apple's forum once they go back home.

    Beside that, posting an opinion without having some kind of proofs doesn't hurt.

     

    You haven't proven they can't visit/respond to this forum either, still I don't ask you to prove your statement, because I have my opinion and it makes sense to me.

    No need to ask, read the Terms for the site.

     

    How is this helping the OP of this question, or anyone?

    How is replying “I have this problem too”, like many people do, helping anyone?

    Not all posts need to be helpful.

    If I had posted that I might agree.

     

    But I didn't, so once more are you trying to help or just take up space?

    My point is that not everyone is always helping with each post; we're sometimes just discussing.

    But I didn't, so once more are you trying to help or just take up space?

    I'm not trying anything here.

    I bought Apple MBP 13 inch mid 2009 in USA on 15-4-2010, used this rarely as I also have Ibook G4 bought in  early 2005 again in USA which still works absolutely fine (except that it has OSX tiger).

     

    In Aug 2013 started with blue screen, repeated self-restarting later MBP went dead , I called apple customer care n did diagnostics was not helpful. I was directed to go to authorized service Centre, Stormfront.  I  had to go long distance to give my MBP for testing and repair, week later was informed the top case needs replacing  (cost £250). Few days later was told the may be the logic board replacing (cost £285), but can’t guarantee the work beyond 90 days.

     

    I took it to Apple store, Trafford Centre, same story but price was different ( Top case £129, & logic board £350)  but can’t guarantee the work beyond 90 days.

     

    I told them at the Apple store, Trafford Centre, that I have an over 9 year old Ibook G4 which is still working great and there seem to be a manufacturing issue with these MBP, can Apple  do it at a subsided or discounted price. I was told there are no such reported issues with these MBP and no recalls have been made and hence if I wanted a repair I have to pay a total of 490 pounds for the repair.

     

    After reading these posts, I lknew it will be a waste hence didn’t get it repaired. 

     

    It’s a pity that Apple, claims that they are very proud of their products being high quality but doesn’t recognize the genuine fault (on these models) reported by its loyal customers who have paid a hefty price.

     

    They should recall these models and replace with a new one for reasonable price if not for free.

     

    Its shame that I can’t take this matter to court (including the available evidence from this posts here and also both of my laptops to show to judge) because I was told by Apple staff here that my purchase was not made in UK.

     

    Hope one day Apple acknowledges (either by themselves or by court action by someone else) their production/design fault with these MBP and reasonably compensates their MBP customers.

    Did you buy it in the UK?

    That's not an exception; Tiger works well (and I personally prefer it over 10.5 or newer ones).

    It’s a pity that Apple, claims that they are very proud of their products being high quality but doesn’t recognize the genuine fault (on these models) reported by its loyal customers who have paid a hefty price.

    I guess it's a transition period where the product quality decrease (and Apple listening less to the problems reported by the users of their products) but the advertisements don't reflect that. I'm also ashamed by Apple these days. Going to see how this evolves…

    And there's nothing wrong with that. Why don't you just let people discussing?

    You're welcome to your opinion, even when it is wrong.

    You don't prove when you think I'm wrong (and that would be pointless anyway). The problem is you're assuming you're forcibly right and others' opinions are wrong if you don't think that way. Just be open.

    But you still don't answer to questions I asked to you. It also suffices to what I need to know.
