[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1480655, member: 46727"] When you say an Apple service center diagnosed it as having a dead logic board, I'm assuming you took it to them to repair and that's when they told you the board was dead and replacing it would cost $750? If the above is correct, your 2008 MBP is just not worth repairing. You would be better off selling it for parts on eBay and use the money to buy a new machine. There really is no way to repair a dead logic board except to replace it with a new one. If you wish to see what's involved in replacing the board yourself, go to [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] and look up the procedure. Also keep in mind that you will still have to purchase the replacement board. [/QUOTE]
