Hi. Macbook Pro 13" Model A1278 Two ports are out on my Macbook. Apple says my Logic Board had gone bad, not covered under warrenty. I am going to replace it myself. Before I buy, I am curious…. if I have to replace anyway, are there any upgrade options? Are there other Logic Boards that will fit in this computer that will make my computer faster? Thank You, Bill Valentine
As this model had a low end and a high end option you could fit the higher end logic board into it. In this case the i5 2.5GHz to an i7 2.9GHz based logic board for the same model. Here’s the iFixIt guide MBP 13’ logic bd replacement.
If you have an i5 you should be able to switch to an i7, but check with your vendor that the boards match.
