I mean, a used MacBook with upgrades will not cost less than $500. So, overall, I would not want this option. Besides, there is always a risk of buying some junk online (eBay, etc.).
Now I would have to buy an old used machine and upgrades (plus having dead MacBook laying around). The initial idea about mine, before it died, was to upgrade it with a new SSD, RAM and OptiBay. Even thought about 15" (same mid 2012, same non-retina). I've actually thought of buying the same MacBook, but used. So if it is indeed a dead CPU, then will it be anyhow possible to repair it (I know that the CPU is soldered, that task is difficult and complex, but still)? And does it make sense to repair it at all? I understand that maybe it is time to move on and instead of spending money to repair the old MacBook I should buy a new one.Īnd if anybody knows some good places to repair a logic board (preferably somewhere around New York City) would be great. However, I will have to wait until Apple Stores are back to work again.

Contacted Apple and they told me that the logic board might be replaced for free in case it was a manufacturing defect. Still want to show it to other repair organisations.
Those who repaired the short circuit told me that it might be a dead CPU and offered me to replace the entire logic board. Short circuit was detected and repaired, still not working. When I connect it to the charger, there is a dim green light on the MagSafe. It doesn't turn on and the battery indicator doesn't work. My MacBook Pro suddenly got broken, model A1278, mid 2012, 13", i7, bought in 2013.
