The 2008-2012 MacBook Pro with a non-retina screen came with a conventional spinning hard drive.
As a result, it is not easy to find a suitable logic board to swap. Logic boards in different models of MacBooks are not exchangeable. For example, if you have a 256G MacBook Pro 2018, you may get a 1TB logic board of MacBook Pro 2018.
We can swap a logic board that has a bigger onboard SSD drive for you. Please call our experts on (03) 9586 8588 to discuss your need.Īlternatively, you may find that replacing the whole logic board is cheaper. We quote for this upgrade service case by case. Therefore, the onboard SSD drive is not economically upgradable. Replacing the SSD chips without damaging the surrounding chips requires a high level of micro-soldering skills. We need to melt the solder underneath the SSD chips to remove the old chips and mount the new SSD chips to the logic board. The logic board will constantly stand the heat of about 300 degrees. This SSD chips upgrade procedure carries a high risk. Then we re-flash the Apple T2 security chip firmware to tailor the new SSD chips. To increase the SSD capacity of these MacBooks, we need to remove all the SSD chips and replace them with bigger capacity SSD chips.
