I ordered this to replace a faulty board on a cheap mac that I picked up and I used an online step by step to make sure I was getting everything unscrewed and out of the way as I went. The machine I was working on now works great, the motherboard replacement went smooth but it is not for the faint of heart. I've been working on computers for years and I have no issues doing things like this without a manual BUT with Macs you will find that you can take some shortcuts when you cheat off of a tutorial or a step by step guide which will ultimately save you time. There is no shame in getting it done RIGHT, that's for sure. This was an identical replacement to the failed board that I had and I researched the part number before making my purchase. For the cost, it was absolutely worth bringing that A1181 that I had back to life. I would do it again if I had another one that needed a replacement. The specs, speed, etc, etc are all listed on the manufacturer's website so I don't think that is really relevant to this review. What I would recommend when buying this is to get a magnetic work pad to place screws on. There are really cool ones available that will let you use a dry erase marker to label the screws as you take them out. Also get yourself a decent set of magnetic screwdrivers. Don't skimp out on the tools they will make or break the job. Hope this helps!Read full review

After checking out Ifixit the board was installed and seemed to work fine but my screen is also out, but the logic board is working fine and good price.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Part arrived as advertised. Did the repair on the laptop myself and the motherboard has been working like a champ ever since. Great value, excellent alternative to more expensive repair service at local computer store. Will definitely purchase from them again in the future when looking for apple computer spare parts.
