Power failure to logic board

Block Image

Hi, i recently bought a second hand MacBook Pro a1260 and i used it for only a few hours before it started failing to boot. Black screen fans and disk spinning but nothing else. I took out the logic board and the CPUs were not clean or pasted properly so i cleaned them up and put new thermal paste on and i got several more hours of boot time. Today it died again and I have isolated the problem to a bad connection on the ic chip to the right of the memory (f2116bg20v h8s) it looks like this processor has a weak connection if i lift the rhs of the chip the system boots fine. Is there anyway i can fix this or does this mean a new logic board? Last digits of serial number are z3ja

Thanks guys for your help. I will look into getting it repaired one way or another.. Just for reference dan :) "he" is a "she" :)

OT would a hot air gun help reflow the chip or does it need to be completely reballed?

S3r3n31, thank you for accepting my answer. You could try a reflow with a hot air gun. Really, nothing to lose at this point. Just make sure that you shield all the other nearby components from the heat. There are a couple of good youtube videos, something like this, that may help you. Just remember the objective is to soften the solder, not to liquify it:-) Best of luck to you.

S3r3n31, that is reference designator U4900 which is your SMC H8S 2116IC. The H8S/2116 Group which is required to configure the system and the peripheral function. A reball should fix it. Hope this helps, good luck

Thanks OT! - If the image is the chip in question, then I stand corrected. From his description I had thought it was the South Bridge he was pulling on.

Sounds like you have a cold solder joint on the South Bridge interface chip.

Do you or a friend have the needed equipment to handle SMT components? If you do you could try re-floating it. This is a very advanced project and may fail.

Otherwise, sorry to say I would try to get your money back, or look into getting a new logic board.

Apple no longer services this model, but some authorized service centers still do (and may even have the needed parts in hand).

This may also be the infamous nVidia 8600 GPU problem. Hook it up to an external monitor, if you get a picture, I'm wrong.

Thank you for your quick response! Yeah it's not a problem with the gpu I checked. I have tried getting my money back and the gentleman who sold me the unit told me it was caused by a software install :/ he's refusing all responsibility. I knew it wasn't which I have gone to great lengths to figure out the problem.
