Anyone familiar with Logic Boards on the MBP's? Need help with hellish repair.

[pamon]

I've had it with the Apple Genius's as they've damaged my MBP upon repair twice and I need to replace the logic board myself. Are these user replaceable or is there any online service place for these?

Also need to know if the memory section where you plug in additional memory is on the logic board or not..

In short, bought mine in Jan 08, had issues with trackpad and keyboard seizures and had it repaired for no cast in april. Last month went to another store and they're stating the extra memory I bought from OWC was installed improperly and the metal clips on the outside of the memory that hold it in caused damage to the logic board..

They're also stating liquid damage which they're isn't any and i've got like 10 white spots on the display with I can't determine if the logic board replacement would cure.

Anyone with logic board knowledge here? Thanks

The logic board in my early 08 MBP died in October. But I had an apple authorized repair person put a new one in. Honestly, I wouldn't attempt to replace something so expensive and hard-to-get-to myself. For fear of damaging other parts along the way.

BUT ifixit does have good instructions for replacing ANYTHING inside your MBP.

I wouldn't do that since it's so expensive..and a possibility of voiding your applecare..
