Hi guys, my mid 2010 MBP is having some problems with the video card so I have to replace the whole logic board and since I have a 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5 processor I was thinking to upgrade it but I have some doubts: I did some research and officially looks like there are only two logic boards for my Mac:
- 2.53 GHz Core i5 (I5-540M), code 661-5472
- 2.66 GHz Core i7 (I7-620M), code 661-5526 But I also found out something about a 2.8 GHz Core i7 (I7-640M) processor, which looks like it works for my version but I’d like to be 100% sure. Looking at this page I understand it should be fine, but in this Apple topic there is no official documentation so I don’t know… Could pls help me clarifying this doubt? Thanks a lot! Alessandro
Yes! Assuming your A1297 is a M2010 you should have no problem swapping in the i7 logic board. Good luck!
Alessandro, did this work? I have the same problem and question - I need to do a replacement, and would like to upgrade to 2.8GHz to avoid getting a logic board with a faulty GPU. Would love to know if this worked for you. Thanks!
