4 Could the hole in this logic board be repaired?
Im trying to source the parts to repair an A1278 i5 2011 MBP logic board so I bought a complete logic board for the all the spare parts I need. It comes with a hole in it. Looked like someone shot the computer with a .22 or something. (how else does a hole appear in a logic board?) anyway. I'm wondering, given its location and size, if is there any chance a repair specialist might be able to complete the missing circuitry in this board and bring her to life.
The board cost me $50.
What are the components / circuits affected from this hole?
Cheers.
This is the best picture i've got until it arrives of the back:
I super imposed that into a higher quality image and drew a dashed circle around the hole:
whats there?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Any chance you can also post an image from the bottom side? No components on the side that you have images off, just a bunch of testpoints. Major problem with this is the possibility of the multilayer board traces, running between the top and the bottom of the board. Lets find out :-)

OT - I think lines to the memory sockets have been cut given the location of the punch. We used a similar device to kill boards when I worked at a company that manufactured circuit boards so they wouldn't be reused and we could take them off our books as scrap.

@Dan, I do agree with you. It is a good question, even if it will be for educational purposes only :-)

OT, I have added a picture.. it's still in transit though so it's not at all focused.. thanks for the advice everyone
