Thank you so much. Just replaced my IO board and the whole process went without a hitch. I’m absolutely thrilled now that I can charge my Air without going through an extensive wriggling routine with the MagSafe connector every time.

Good day! As I can see it’s all the same with Air 2012 logic board…

I’m looking the board to replace my 2GB mid 2011, can I take 4GB mid 2012 with 1.7Ghz ..?

This was exactly what I needed!!! I replaced the I/O board and I/O board cable on a macbook 11” A1465 that was not charging or playing sound. It now works. Great explanations and details.
