[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1851791, member: 56379"] This may or may not work. Firstly assuming the OS installed on the 2010 MBP is compatible with the 2009 MacBook Pro. Secondly...sometimes the macOS installed on a specific model Apple computer can be tailored to that model...thus it may or may not work in a 2nd different model Apple computer. But this is a great idea to try...give it a shot.:) You could also install the 2010 MBP drive into an external drive housing...and boot from it externally. Very very risky. You could definitely turn this logic board into scrap. For every successful video like this on You Tube...there should also be the 100 or more unsuccessful videos...where this was unsuccessful (for a variety of reasons). Remember...when you stick a logic board into the oven @425F...not only will the solder connections liquify for the GPU...ALL the solder connections on the logic board will liquify. If the logic board is not perfectly level...liquified solder could run into areas you don't want it to go. But this is only one parameter to be concerned about. This is why there are multi-thousand dollar pieces of equipment out there to do this delicate work. - Nick [/QUOTE]
