Can I switch out the logic board with this other one I have?
Hey there, I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro with a broken motherboard (it got smashed really hard… terrible times) which was my main working computer up until it got busted.
I got a replacement laptop with the same specs, but from mid-2012, to last me til the new Macbook Pros come out, and I’m wondering whether it would be possible to take out the motherboard from the mid-2012 one and fix the late-2013 one with it?
I checked the parts on a website and it seems they have different part codes, which makes sense, but maybe it’s still possible since the laptops share the same model number?
TBH I can work with the mid-2012 laptop, but it’s a bit frustrating that I won’t be able to update it to Big Sur, and also for cosmetic reasons I’d rather go back to my old laptop (all my stickers are on there).
Thanks in advance!

How about posting some pics of the damage maybe we can find you a better option to get your system running.

hey, unfortunately I don't have a photo of the broken motherboard. I took it to someone to try to fix it, and they said it's broken... they said only way would be to switch out the motherboard, but he couldn't do it himself, and couldn't recommend someone else either
