Hi

Sorry my English it's not too good, by I'll try to explain my problem 😉.

I've got a Macbook pro 17" with this generalized problem, distorted video and glitches.

Treated on this thread too --> http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1697470&tstart=0&messageID=12326867#12326867

I tried all that stuff, but no luck of resolving the problem at this moment.

I thought i could try get a new logic board and ind the case get a higher one,
but i don't know if will be possible swap the old one with a higher model.

My actual model is this one.

And i would like to get one of those higher model's.

it's possible to swap the older model that I've got the first one that has a core duo processor with the latest ones with a core 2 duo and faster processor ?¿

The chip-set looks pretty similar in shape and size.

Thx in advance.

P.D: I have to practice more my English. I'm from Spain by the way.

Anyone know if it's possible i got my logic-board nearly broken, and i need to buy one for swap 😉.

They would have to be exactly the same size and shape, and have the ports in the same place. Also have to have the same connectors for everything.

Well, you might be able to swap them but it's not something I've heard of before. Perhaps check Apple Discussions?

Your English is excellent 🙂
