Hi guys, so im in a bit of a pickle and need some advice. I have a mid 2014 2.5ghz 16gb 2gb ram 512gb ssd , slowly over the past month loosing the ability to charge. Its been dodgy for a while and now has packed up charging totally. Annoyingly as the computer works perfectly, it just wont charge. Ive taken it into apple and they said a board change was in order, i replaced the battery, and also tried different chargers etc, also changed the magsafe to no avail. My question is can I install a logic board from say a 2013-2015 mpb? As it seems the design hasnt changed but im not sure if the pin terminals on all the clips are the same etc? Secondly can i stick in the 2.8ghz in if i find one as a pose to my 2.5ghz in there currently? If anyone could get back to me with a little list of compatable boards I can install that would be great, im really trying not to spend a huge amount on the board and have found A1389 15 retina 2.8ghz board on ebay for very little, it was just from a 2013 i believe but before i grab anything I thought to check with the guys on here . Thanks guys Lewis
Basically Apple sticks to a series of systems which use the same hardware. As an example in your case the MacBookPro11,2 all have interchangeable logic boards. Sadly, the logic board you found is part of this series: MacBookPro10,1.
I personally never trust logic boards on eBay. They are generally water damaged, not working or something wrong with them. If it was a perfectly working board they would put it in a MacBook and sell the MacBook.
