[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1791848, member: 46727"] Apple techs and AASPs are prevented from doing any kind of board level repairs. In a sense, I don't blame Apple for their policy on that. I worked on high level goverment equipment for years and we were not allowed to do board level repair. Our boards were sent to a depot where they were repaired, reconditioned, checked, and then released back to us. The reason for that was obvious; field techs like myself were not trained in board level repair nor did we have the proper equipment to do it. The same reasoning exists within Apple. Member - "Audit13" has been successful in repairing several Macs that were likely throw away or sell for parts Macs. It's always great to hear when someone can overcome the odds and bring one of those "dead" Macs back to life again. :) [/QUOTE]
