Can I upgrade/replace my 1st Gen MBP Logic board

HI all,

Just a quick one, I think my logic board is on its way out - random shutdowns and error code: 4SNS/1/40000000: TAOP

SO was wondering if i can kill two birds with one stone, by replacing the Logic board (if that is indeed the prob) with a logic board that would accept the 4gb of RAM instead of my current 2gb.....

Has anyone tried this?!

Thanks

Darren

For your Model A1150 machine, and you want to upgrade it to a Model A1226 or A1260 (which accept up to 4 GB RAM, according to Apple, but 8 GB realistically)?

If so, it's not financially viable to upgrade.

Apple changed all the connector types (to JST connectors), so the fans, PRAM, etc would need to be replaced
They moved the Bluetooth from near the hard drive to below the upper case, so both a new bluetooth assembly and upper case would be needed (the upper case also has a different connection location on the logic board)
The display changed entirely from TFT to LCD, which means you'd need a new display and I/O board
The keyboard attaches differently, so you'd need a new keyboard.

Sorry for the bad news!

Bugger! Thanks Ben, had a feeling I wouldn't be able to do something quite so drastic so easily... Worth a shot though! Thanks. :)

Definitely always worth asking :) Good luck

Plus, the second/A1211 and third-gen/A1226 MBPs had both FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 ports, while the A1150 first-gen had only a FireWire 400 port. I was in a group of nerds screaming at an Apple employee at MWSF 2006 about the omission. An Apple engineer friend later half-confessed to me that Apple had used Intel reference boards to get the first-gen Intel Macs out the door six months earlier than the original June 2006 shipping estimate. The second-gen logic boards had Apple refinements incorporated, while the original systems did not. Just another reason not to buy the first generation of anything after a major design change...
