HI machead thanks for you reply i have taken the logic board out, apart from the processor and graphics chip there is a heatsink on its own with four black button type lock rivets where if you squeeze the ends they retract from the board my problem is that after they retract the heatsink is quite suborn to even move a mm so i am wondering whats this heat sink for and do i have to be a bit more brutal with it ? thank you for your first reply

Hi there

Could you please advise is replacing that capacitor fixed the problem? I have the same issue and I have replaced capacitor that are sitting on the other side of the logic board (their pins are covered by that heatsink and I had to remove that to reach pins when replacing capacitors).

But unfortunaely replacing capacitors did nt help. I am not sure now if that was capacitors issue and if i need to replace them again or there is issue with something else.

Soluzione Prescelta

Follow this guide (you have an Apple Model No: A1145 (EMC 2082)) The entire logic board has to come out of the machine.
