This is the 17" MacBook Pro Unibody Logic Board for the Early 2011 model however this board is fully interchangeable with the Late 2011 model of MacBook Pro 17". This logic board has a 2.3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor with two integrated graphics cards, Intel HD Graphics 3000 Card with 384MB of VRAM which is shared with the computers main ram, and a AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB of dedicated VRAM.
This is a highly static-sensitive device and replacement should not be attempted without suitable experience and anti-static precautions. If you remove the heat sink from the logic board, the seal must be re-made adequately when the new board is fitted to ensure the MacBook Pro does not overheat. Thermal paste is available from the Tools section.
This range suffered from a common GPU failure, which was later covered by a replacement programme with Apple. That programme is now over.
Provided with 3month guarantee. No refund will be given for logic boards damaged during fitting. This range suffered from a common GPU failure, which was later covered by a replacement programme with Apple. That programme is now over.
This listing is for a 'reballed' GPU, which is the only long term fix for the common GPU fault on these ranges
(the fault occurs when the lead free solder under the GPU cracks and loses connection, it is often not a component fault. so a 'reball', a process of replacing the solder under the chip with leaded solder, is the only sure way of repairing the board.)
