Can I install a late 2011 17inch logic board into a mid 2010 17inch MacBook Pro ?
I Own an older mid 2010 MacBook Pro 17inch and have been offered a late 2011 MacBook Pro 17inch logic board and want to know if it will fit.
I realised these MacBooks are old but I love the unibody, ports, cd drive ;), bigger screen(I know its not retina but its still great!)
Questa è una buona domanda?

Yes, you can fit a 2011 board into a 2010 Mac, but take also in consideration you’ll have to replace the battery as connectors are different. If I may give a word of warning I would suggest stress testing the graphic card with a benchmarking app such as Valley from Unigine to make sure it’s working nicely before purchase or right after it, if it’s an online purchase. I love 17” Macbooks, I have one myself I’m keeping dearly until it lasts, but many have had graphic card issues.

Thankyou so much for the answer, the one I’m buying is very cheap and I’m praying the logic board is in good condition, yes it’s from online, it states on the ad the screen doesn’t come on at all so hopefully it will be a straight swap , will comment on the progress of this when it’s done.
Hope everything will go smooth, keep us posted.
