Is Rev 2 logic board more reliable than the old one?

I just had my logic board replaced due to the nvidia graphics recall. I received a 661-4955 Revision 2 logic board. I was wondering if this new logic board is susceptible to the same flaw as the original recalled logic boards.

The board revision is not a reliable metric - the GPU part number is.

  • Good: G86-603-A2 or newer
  • Bad: G84-600-A2/G86-601-A2

You have to take the machine apart and look at the chip itself as there is no software check. Even if the chip is good, I would still caution you to baby the laptop and not stress it too much. The problem is caused by bad flip chip dies and heat, so even the good ones will die. Apple considers these machines vintage.

Thank you for response. Can you forward me somewhere that differentiates the old one and the Rev2? Is it the same exact board or do they differ in any way, physically or otherwise? I've Googled around but have not hit on the topic.

@luiscanela My 2007 was replaced due to this GPU issues *years* ago for a A1297 17". The 8600M GT machines are cheap for a reason - it's nostalgia for those of us who want one again, with the hindsight needed to get a good one.
