MacBook Pro 13,3 "retina Logic Board failure?

I bought my MacBook Pro 13,3 "Retina display nine in early 2014 before going to College.  This is the most expensive item that I have ever owned I always made sure to take the greatest care in the use and handling.  About a week ago, I went to turn it on and a prohibitive symbol appeared on the screen (a white circle with a slash) and after that, it was completely cut off.  I took it to a (MicroCenter) renamed repair store and they said it was a failure of the logic board and would cost nearly $700 to fix.  Everyone knows this Council logical fault problem?

I am extremely disappointed by Apple because I thought of them as the cream of the cream with advanced technology "State-of-the-art".  I expect this device to last until the end of my academic career to a minimum and the fact that it's broken in less than two years is absolutely unacceptable. I did some googling and I saw a trial about the logic board failures in 15 '' MacBook Apple of 2011-13 and had published a complementary repair program.  I hope they do the same with my case.

Again, someone else has their logic board fail randomly?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Support communities

Sorry to hear that. I suggest you take a look at the forums of MacBook Pro to find cases similar to yours and check if there is a systemic problem or if you just had bad luck. Obviously it will not be a legal action if this problem is reduced to a few users, but there's a chance if this is stated as a failure of the design.

About your problem, it looks more like a problem of flash storage rather than a failure of the logic board, but retina MacBooks Pro have most of their parts soldered to the logic board, so, any repair is quite expensive. Finally, if you live in a European country, remember that your Mac has got a 2-year statutory warranty, then you may qualify for a free repair.

  • You can improve the macbook pro 15 inch 2015 logic board

    I am the proud owner of a macbook pro mid 2015, 15-inch retina display 2.2 Ghz i7 (integrated graphics).

    I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade dedicated to one with the graphics card logic board or is there a compatibility issue?

    I know that the macbook pro with dedicated graphics card is the same size and all that one that I have so I was wondering if the logic boards are the same size.

    I hope this isn't a stupid question.

    I'm sorry. After the purchase, upgrade of the internal components is not possible.

    If you wish, you can sell the Mac you have and buy another Mac with the specifications you want.

  • Mac Mini vs MacBook Pro 13 "with retina display

    Recently, I decided to buy a Mac computer having never used several Windows computers.  I already have an iPad (I love by the way) that I use for taking notes and work on documents, while I'm not at my desk.  I have a Windows laptop at home which I use primarily as a desktop computer.  About five weeks of the year, I need to use the laptop as a real laptop (i.e., I need to move office where I keep it by the way).  However, I believe that, following an update of the iOS OneDrive app, that I should be able to work only from my iPad (i.e. the computer should not necessarily be used for these five weeks).  Nevertheless, I would still know that the Mac was portable so that I could at least carry somewhere or put it in a bag and connect it to a TV, use it as a monitor.

    I also want the Mac to last me five or sixyears, so a very important criterion for the Mac's longevity After looking through the different available Macs, I've narrowed my selection to the following:

    • MacBook Pro with the retina 13 "2.7 GHz 8 GB RAM 256 GB SSD (see here)
    • Mac Mini 2.8 GHz, 8 GB RAM 1 TB Fusion drive (see here)

    Most of my work is to use productivity applications (e.g. Microsoft Office); emails and browsing the web, as well as a small photo editing (I currently use Paint.Net under Windows to give you an idea of the kind of program I want to use).

    So, to summarize:

    • The Mac I must last for 5-6 years; I don't want to have to replace here there if that can be avoided
    • I wish it were portable enough to carry rarely, even if I have to plug it into a monitor somewhere
    • It must have an SSD
    • I would like to have a machine that will run the productivity (like MS Office) applications fairly quickly; I won't use image programs much (or at all)
    • I am a student at the University, your costs would be appreciated as well!

    So I'm looking for a recommendation as to whether the Mini or MacBook Pro with the retina (or another Mac altogether) would be better for my needs.

    Thank you very much!!

    Either one will meet your needs very well. The laptop has a little better graphics, but the Mini has a lot more on-board storage.

    The laptop has its own screen KB and mouse/trackpad is more portable.

    Two Macs need to be supported for the same amount of time in the future.  However, the laptop is more prone to damage jut because he's moved a lot.

  • MacBook Pro with screen Retina or normal MacBook Pro?

    HI, I want to buy a MacBook Pro, but I don't know what we should I buy, the retina or normal? I look at the series and videos from YouTube and I want to edit videos and my pictures if I buy one, so I thought that the retina it would be better for me, but it is too expensive. I want it with 512 ir 500g and but the MacBook Pro with retinal display costs $700 more. Also, I watched some YouTube videos that compared the MacBook Pro with Retina display vs the regular MacBook Pro. And the MacBook pro with the Retina display is faster. is there too much difference between the normal pro and the macbook with the Retina display? And there too much difference on the screen?

    If you have a normal MacBook Pro or a MacBook Pro with retina Display, please tell me your experience with it. Also tell me what I should buy.

    Thank you

    Your best option is to go to a store (Apple or reseller) and compare screens side by side.  Only then can you make an informed decision.

    The main differences between the two models is that the retina has no DVD player and cannot have put RAM at day after purchase and the PCIe SSD updated at great expense (which will also void any warranty).

    The non-retine can have the RAM has increased to a maximum 16 GB at a later date and may have installed later hard/SSD drives of up to 2 TB of capacity.

    I just bought a MacBook Pro of the retina (100% Brand new) as my first product Mac and I love it! I want to keep this laptop for as long as I can especially for the price I paid for it. Battery is my number one concern, and I want to keep the health of the battery as healthy as possible.

    You have the original installation media supplied with your machine? This would be a way: use the DVD to boot from, format the new hard drive and then reinstall the operating system. You can then update/upgrade to 10.11.

    Other than that, your model was not eligible to have its firmware updated to allow for the recovery of the internet which is the only other way I know - at least the only other way besides a bootable clone, you did before your defective hard disks.

    Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

    Do not think to partition/format your new drive first.
