2007 macbook pro logic board replacement cost

This particular 15 inch MacBook Pro had its graphics card replaced under Apple's extended warranty in case that could affect anything causing the problem, it has been a very good machine until now and has six GB of RAM and was last running El Capitan. Or would you agree with me that I think it may be best to just buy her a used good working 15in MacBook, Pro or otherwise. The replacement solid state drive is known to be in a good working state when used on another iMac? Would anyone have any idea what the problem might be, and where is this buzz-click type sound coming from as I doubt very much it is actually coming from either of the solid state drives that have been tried with their no moving parts.Īm I overlooking something fairly obvious that would be causing the sound and a non booting MacBook Pro with a solid state drive installed. She only uses it for minimal internet browsing use and email and messaging excetera of course,

I am guessing that it is something fairly serious with the logic board or some other major internal part and probably not worth repairing.

The new solid-state drive boots and works on my 2011 iMac, but will not work when installed in the 2007 MacBook Pro, and only makes the same buzz-click type sound every second after the power button is pressed. Nothing seems to work.įrom the sound I assumed it was a kaput hard drive so purchased a new solid-state drive for a replacement but was a bit surprised to find it was already a solid state drive installed that was not working. Neither can I get it to boot from its working backup USB external drive, nor does Target disk mode work. Any good diagnostic MacBook Pro members out there who might have an idea of why my cousin's 2007 MacBook Pro ( MacBookPro3,1) suddenly will not boot.Īll it will do regardless of keyboard combination used is to make a buzz-click type sound every second, but will not boot.
