@mymyxhoney - You'd have to replace the whole top case and keyboard assembly, but yet, you can do that.

I had my macbook pro destroyed by a liquid spillage.. and now the authorized service center here in my country told me that I needed to change my logic board which costs for about PhP56,000.00 more likely $1200+ (PhP cost I live here in the Philippines).. Do I really need to replace my logic board? 'Cause when the time we tested it at the center.. He just told me that the Processor isnt working well coz he diagnosed it with a sluggish perfomance...

@LoveStonedo5 - The processor is on the logic board, so if that is indeed the problem, you will need to replace the board.

@PowerbookMedic ok thanks.. but would I be spending that amount of money? I mean would the logic board itself could amount to $1200? Because for me it's too much..

[PowerbookMedic]

@LoveStonedo5 - On a brand new board, you would be spending that amount. We sell used boards on our site for significantly less however.

@PowerbookMedic Hi.. can I ask how to check the apple part number I need? I have the Macbook Pro 13.3" Mid 2010 model with core 2 duo processor.. and as you said earlier the processor is on the logic board so can I upgrade my processor to core i5? like the one in the early 2011 model?
