Hi,

i have two boards that have strange behaviour. 2010 works fine but fan gets to max. revs right from the boot. All sensors ok, smc reset, ram resent... nothing helps. Other one is just dead, it charges battery but wont boot.

I am looking to replace SMC chips. These boards are quiet similar, 820-2879 and 820-2530. I wonder if they use same smc? Can i buy smc for 2530 and put it on 2879?

Thank you very much!
