[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1125701, member: 56379"] What made you think this???...if you do not have any Macintosh laptop experience (Macbooks, Macbook Pros's)...it's a bad thing to "assume". Besides...Apple has been making laptop computers since roughly 1989...and I can pretty much count the number of laptop models that had an upgradable cpu or gpu on one hand! In fact...I can't even think of one Apple laptop model that had an upgradeable gpu...an upgradeable cpu Yes (and these were VERY few)...but not an upgradeable gpu. Don't you think that if that was a less expensive way to do a repair that Apple would already be doing it. Apple is VERY big on customer service. By swapping out the entire motherboard a customer gets their computer back faster! Many times the same day if going to the Apple Store. If an Apple technician had to replace a single chip (solder/desolder)...if it's even possible...the repair would take a lot longer. Also...what we don't know is...maybe the motherboard(s) that are removed are repaired later...recertified as 100% working, and used for future motherboard replacements. The bottom line is...you have a 15" Macbook Pro with a non-upgradeable cpu and a non-upgradeable gpu. That's the way it's been for a very long time with Apple laptops/notebooks. If you know how to successfully replace/upgrade the cpu or gpu in a Macbook or Macbook Pro...please please please do it...and then write up a DIY for the rest of us!!!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
