Obviously the best thing to do, would be to have it repaired by Apple, that way you have a warranty on the repair (can't remember how long it is) and if anything goes wrong during the repair, it's their problem, not yours.

But, if you're looking at this from the cost side of things and you want to do it yourself, the only place you're likely to find one is on eBay.

What is wrong with the current logic board?

Thanks,

I ran a diagnosis on the current logic board and was told that the chipset / IC for sound is faulty. What informed my request for a diagnosis is the fact that my mac sound doesn't come out from my mac and in fact doesn't sound even with a speaker or head phones.

I would definitely prefer an apple repair or even a swap for a 15" but I am in Nigeria and till now haven't heard of an apple shop or certified repair site in Nigeria.

Please advice on what my options are. I'll surf ebay to see as you said.

Hi,

What diagnostics did you use? Apple Hardware Test?

As it doesn't come out of either the internal speakers or external speakers/headphones, it does sound as though this will require a logic board replacement.

If you contact Apple directly, you should be able to send it in for repair through them.

Thanks,

I got an engineer to run the diagnosis for me in Nigeria and discovered that the logic board needs to be replaced.

How can I contact apple directly to send it in. I didn't get it from apple directly but got it as a used one from a merchant in Lagos, Nigeria.

Thanks so much for your response, it's really been helpful.

Okay, cool!

Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

If you take a look at that link for contact information for Apple there, you should be able to find a contact number to get this sorted.

If it's a Late 2011 model, it shouldn't matter that you purchased it used.

Good luck!

Thanks,
