Chosen Solution

hello, I have a macbook pro with the logic board a1212 broken , I would like to know if i can replace it with a A1261 (to have such a powerful pc). thanks

No sorry they are not cross compatible , for starters the screens are different a1212 uses CFL bulb , while the a1261 uses LED bulb.

A white screen usually indicates a failed hard dive. Try disconnecting the drive from the logic board and booting from the original system installation optical disk.
