My theory and it is just a theory is that there is a particular small part or connection that with this particular design is a weak link that has been failing. I went back and found the YouTube video where a tech goes step by step through a repair of a MacBook logic board. I mean if they could just say here is the cause for the failure and we have a fix then that would be great. Unfortunately someone replied earlier in this or another thread that the replacement would be the "same" logic board and as such just as likely to fail. It would certainly be less expensive than buying a new MacBook Pro. The problem that I think you are stating and is the same I am concerned about is if I spend the money to replace the logic board will the replacement last. Disclosure - I have no idea how long my gaming laptop may live which is why for work I have been using some form of Apple Mac for 30 years. Another option is to give up on Apple and get a PC laptop like my current gaming laptop which I can open up and replace most any part myself. Based on all I have seen I may be ahead financially to buy new with a warranty than repair without any warranty only to have it fail again. I want like to believe there would be something I could do to insure a long life if I follow through with a repair versus buying a new MacBook. What is sad is this MacBook Pro has seen so much less travel and having been primarily at a desk than it's predecessors one(2015) of which is still going strong. I have been doing more online research and came across a comment about the USB C charging hinted at being a possible culprit for all these logic board failures in MacBooks.
I did contact Apple Support and the serial number does not fall in the range of any post warranty support machines. Thank you for very much for your informative reply. Or what the issue is with the board- all parts are soldered and therefore require board replacement, You do not say what exact model this is 2018 MacBook Pro (?)
It will be replaced with the exact same board that it is OEM for that model. I have not given up on Macs I have owned three MacBook Pros over the last 15 years and they until now been very reliable. My option is of course to repair it, almost a $600 repair, or buy a new Mac. Does anybody else have experience with this. My concern is will the new board eventually fail or since this has been reported to be a problem with this model can I expect the new board is more durable. I am faced with repairing an out of warranty 2018 MacBook Pro with a Mac Service Center diagnosed logic board failure.
