Hi, I’ve a MacBook Pro 13" it’s model with 2,26GHzmodel of autumn 2009, the mother board is KO and have to change it, the apple ask me some 520€, but my question is can i change it with a i5 Mother board to hsve really a new PC? Thsnk you for answer
Call Apple up directly (not an Authorised Service Provider), ask them for the flat rate repair fee (which is $280 US) (196 Euros). Just tell them it won’t start up. This won’t get you a the i5 logic board but it won’t break the bank either.
They probably got that figure from the cost of the logic board, that rate is this part plus something. If you can’t get apple to replace it you can buy it from iFixit and there’s an installation guided linked in there.
