My 2.26 logic board is dying. I was wondering if it is possible to swap logic board from 2.26 to 2.53 from same mac model of same year as both CPU were offered? same RAM/ same port/ same GPU. It seems the mounting points a similar but only judging from picture is difficult. Figure the price is only ~100$ difference might as well get some speed. Thank you.
Here’s the Apple P/N’s: 661-5559 - 2.40 GHz (your current logic bd)661-5560 - 2.66 GHz (the optional bd) Here’s the IFIXIT guide to swap out the board: MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009 Logic Board Replacement
