[QUOTE="thomas998, post: 1016600, member: 111388"] Could you do it? Yes... But without having good test equipment you will have a very hard time doing it. If you really want to try then the only way I can see you doing it that will be within your ability is to go get yourself some basic test equipment to check capacitors... Now if you have a source of non-working logic board from your friend then start by going and having him give you about a hundred of them.... Now check the capacitors on each and everyone. You are going to be hoping that you find a logic board that failed because of a bad capacitor and is otherwise working fine.... I'm guessing you might have a fifty-fifty chance of finding one in that batch of 100 that is only failing because of a bad capacitor... As for your other question about logic boards fitting in cases... I'm pretty sure that any of the early core duo and core 2 duo logic boards will fit into any of the black cases... the one problem you will have is that the little battery charging board differs in various models as does the keyboard which may appeal the same on the top but there are different types of connections used to connect to the logic board. Good luck [/QUOTE]
