    Es ist nicht erforderlich, IO-Board, Akku und Logic-Board auszubauen. Es genügt, die Antennen- das Kamera- und das Displaykabel zu entfernen und die Scharniere abzumontieren. Die Kabel können leicht an den vorhandenen Komponenten vorbeigezogen werden.

    Really great guide!!!

    My only issue was the removal of the logic board was a bit nerve wracking.

    The speaker wire was stressed heavily as the board tilted up. Removing the speakers before the board would solve this.

    I did it in that order during reassembly, and it worked great.

    I also had an issue with the logic board installation as the above comment mentioned. I found easiest way is to just remove the speaker that you just re-installed. It's 1 screw - take that speaker out and now that wire that was bumping logic board is out of the way, and just then re-install the speaker.

    When replacing the logic board, make sure the two rf connectors are out of the way before you put the screws back.

    • If the heat sink seems to be stuck to the logic board after removing all eight screws, use a spudger to carefully separate the heat sink from the faces of the CPU and GPU.

    • Remove the heat sink from the logic board.

    • When reinstalling the heat sink, be sure to apply a new layer of thermal paste. If you have never applied thermal paste before, we have a guide that makes it easy.

    • These shots show how the rubber fan gasket should be installed during reassembly. Be sure not to install the gasket underneath the ear where the end of the heatsink is screwed down to the upper case.

    • Additionally, be sure the small post molded into the rubber gasket mates with the hole cut into the upper right corner of the logic board.

Can I use a later model logic board in the 2010 model?

Albert Einstein - Responder

Later models logic board have connection for backlit keyboard next to battery connector. Also different shaped right speaker

Brendan Vandervliet -

Please be so nice and let me know if logic board replacement at my late 2010 with 2G RAM in to the same model but with 4G RAM, will give me visible, tangible nice results, that the speed is improved ? It should but can someone confirm it ?

Artur - Responder

Hi Artur,

TL;DR: Yes!

If you have a look in the “activity monitor” unter memory, you will find that with just 2GB of RAM, OS X will almost always use some “Swap” memory, which means, it has to offload files from the RAM to the HDD (SDD). Whenever this happens, the system will get a lot less responsive, since moving files from the RAM to the SSD and back is a lot slower, than just reading/writing from/to the RAM. In my experience, with 2GB this happens all the time, whereas with 4GB, you have to run a number of programs at once, until that happens.

To be clear: 4GB will not suddenly make this a fast machine, it’s still a 10+ years als Core2Duo, but it will be a lot more responsive and usable with 4GB in it. The replacement process is relatively easy, as you can see in the guide, as long as you got the right screwdrivers. If you can get a 4 GB board for a decent price, give it a try!
