Introduzione
Use this guide to replace the logic board in your MacBook Pro 16" Late 2023 (M3 Pro/M3 Max).
Note that Touch ID will not function after replacing the logic board. The MacBook Pro’s original Touch ID sensor is uniquely paired to the logic board at the factory—and without Apple’s proprietary calibration process, even a genuine replacement Touch ID sensor from another MacBook Pro won’t work.
Some photos in this guide are of the previous model MacBook Pro and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the procedure.
