It doesn't turn on and the battery indicator doesn't work. When I connect it to the charger, there is a dim green light on the MagSafe. Short circuit was detected and repaired, still not working. Those who repaired the short circuit told me that it might be a dead CPU and offered me to replace the entire logic board. Still want to show it to other repair organisations. Contacted Apple and they told me that the logic board might be replaced for free in case it was a manufacturing defect. However, I will have to wait until Apple Stores are back to work again. So if it is indeed a dead CPU, then will it be anyhow possible to repair it (I know that the CPU is soldered, that task is difficult and complex, but still)? And does it make sense to repair it at all? I understand that maybe it is time to move on and instead of spending money to repair the old MacBook I should buy a new one.Īnd if anybody knows some good places to repair a logic board (preferably somewhere around New York City) would be great. I've actually thought of buying the same MacBook, but used. Even thought about 15" (same mid 2012, same non-retina). The initial idea about mine, before it died, was to upgrade it with a new SSD, RAM and OptiBay. Now I would have to buy an old used machine and upgrades (plus having dead MacBook laying around). So, overall, I would not want this option.īesides, there is always a risk of buying some junk online (eBay, etc.). So maybe in my case it would be more rational just to add some money and buy a brand new one? I mean, a used MacBook with upgrades will not cost less than $500. I've checked the port many times and, honestly, I doubt that there is something with it. And battery indicator on the left side also doesn't work, so I guess it's something else. Those who fixed the short circuit issue didn't charge me at all since they couldn't bring it back to life.
