I have a MacBook Pro 17" Core Duo 2.16Ghz with a broken logic board (video memory). I read that the Core 2 Duo 2.33 logic board would fit in the same case – so I bought one from eBay.
However… It turns out that there's a couple of connectors that are different between the two models…
Three 4pin - connectors
Three 2pin - connectors
The Core Duo have old white ones and the Core 2 Duo have new black ones.
What's the name of the new black connector type that I need for my cables?
Can I order these connectors somewhere? (Yes!?!)
I'm not going to let a couple of plastic connectors stop me from getting my precious MBP back to life! Especially not after an $550 investment in a new logic board from a different continent
