#EARLY 2015 MACBOOK PRO LOGIC BOARD REPLACEMENT INSTALL#
The problem is this: how can I update the logic board firmware so that it is compatible with Mojave? I just tried an internet recovery install of Mojave, but the installer refused for the same reasons as before (incompatible firmware). It was then that I realized that what must have happened is that the replacement motherboard has an earlier firmware version that is incompatible with OS X 10.14.1 installed on the MBP's internal flash drive, and the so-called "geniuses" at the Apple Store didn't think about this.

Since running Disk First Aid at that point found no errors on the internal SSD, I thought I would try to reinstall Mojave from the SSD, but when I did so, the installer refused, informing me that my Mac had an incompatible firmware version and suggesting that I try to install Mojave on a HFS+ disk! (alas, my MBP's flash drive is formatted as APFS encrypted). However, it turns out that my MBP runs fine from a bootable external backup SSD over USB. Trying to reboot into recovery mode put me in the same internet recovery cycle When it was returned to me, it had a big new problem: it would keep booting into internet recovery mode (although it eventually did boot), but eventually ended up freezing while I was using it. I had a lot of parts (battery, display, logic board) of my MBP mid-2015 replaced at the local Apple Store. Even Apple’s cell phones can’t last more than 2 years without failing - I can’t believe people keep giving them so much money.Apple has put me in a pickle.

Obviously, no tech company, Apple included, can figure out how to make a quality machine. What’s even more unbelieving, I only bought such an expensive machine because an Apple laptop was supposed to be high quality and last for years - what a joke! Don’t waste your hard earned money on such a joke of a company. So much downtime for repair and lack of reliability of the APPLE product left bad taste in the mouth. within 1 year and 3 months after its replacement was done last time and the repair cost now in Sept 2017 is ( approx INR 45,000) while new Mac air with twice the RAM, intel core 5 processor costs INR 60000.Įffectively I ended up paying INR 70000 for 21 month usage.

Replace a 2.9 GHz logic board (motherboard) compatible with the Early 2015 MacBook Pro 13' model laptop. They suggested its logic board failure i.e. MacBook Pro 13' Retina (Early 2015) 2.9 GHz Logic Board. I went to a different authorized service center this time. Sometimes it just shuts down all of sudden. Then it worked well for next 12 months.Īnd now it depends on MAC air shim whether it wants to start or not. All parts are pulled from genuine OEM new and used machines. Device was with them for about 3 months as they diagnose-repair cycle continued. Apple MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch A1502 (Early 2015), 2.7Ghz Core i5, 8GB RAM. I gave it to replacement to Authorized Apple repair center in Gopalan Mall Bengaluru. I WAS converting all my technology to Apple products but you better believe that isn’t happening anymore - NEVER BUYING AN APPLE PRODUCT AGAIN!!įor me I got issues within 6 months after purchase ( INR 70,000 ) of my Mac Book Air. Even Apple’s cell phones can’t last more than 2 years without failing - I can’t believe people keep giving them so much money. They obviously know their products’ logic boards don’t work. Apple Service Part: 661-02359, 820-4924-A, Logic Board Replacement, MacBook Pro 13inch Retina Early 2015. When I question the quality of their product and asked if I had a dud, the response is we never know when this kind of stuff will happen or why - based on this thread, I think that’s a lie. MacBook Pro 13-inch Early 2015, 3.1Ghz Logic Board Replacement, Apple 661-02359. How does such a major hardware component fail in such a short time? How does Apple not stand behind their products? They want half the price of a brand new MBA to fix their faulty product. I’m extremely upset and disappointed with Apple and I’ll be making it known to everyone in my circle. My machine was in excellent condition and only left the house a handful of times - never dropped it, never spilt anything on it (Guiness Bar confirmed I did nothing wrong as far as they can tell). I bought a brand new Apple MacBook Air in March of 2015, fast forward to November 2017 and my MacBook has died.
