Imac (Logic Board) Need Help

brendan86

Hey guys,

I am in need of help on best way to fix my problem cheaply as ive already spent a fortune trying to repair this. Basically I didnt screw the screen in after replacing harddrive and later that night it fell and the connection from the logic board to screen pulled off the end two gold pins on logic board that connect to screen. Pics are attached.

Whats my best solution here? I have 2 pins broke off either end.. Is there anyway someone can solder new on? A new logic board is just too expensive unless I got one cheaply. Anyone got any advice please would be much appreciated.

Need clearer pics TBH. You could replace the connector on the board. In that case you would need to either find the OEM P/N or get a fried logic board off eBay and transfer it over. If you haven't soldered much though you are in touble as any workaround is going to involve some good iron skills and a steady hand.

I'm assuming the screen is blank now?

Tempted to ask what on earth you were thinking .. but I wont

Probably better to leave this to someone with the proper equipment. That's a high density connector, I doubt a standard soldering iron would do here.

Ring up Typetech off the M50 and ask them to quote you a repair. They're helpful, Apple authorised and they've fixed my machines before.

Try Bondi, Evad or CompuB as well. All are in town which may be handier for a drop off.
