[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1480656, member: 56379"] Nope...not really anyway to repair a logic board. In fact there's really not a very good way to even diagnose what specifically is damaged on the logic board to even know what to replace. And if you work for an IT company...then you are probably familiar with the "surface mount technology" used to solder teeny-tiny" components onto modern logic boards. This is absolutely not something a human being with an ordinary soldering iron is even close to capable of duplicating. To fix your MacBook Pro you need a new/good replacement logic board...and as you already mentioned...that's going to cost around $750...which isn't worth it on a 2008 15" MBP which is worth less than $750. But if were able to find a good used logic board for a lot less $$$...that could possibly be worth it.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
