Chosen Solution

17" MBP 2006 A1151 model Hi all, was wondering if I can swap on my non-unibody 17" MBP the original logic board A1151 by a core 2 duo model (A1212, A1229, or A1261), preferably the A1261. They look quite similar on the replacement tutorial (step 14) : MacBook Pro 17" Models A1151 A1212 A1229 and A1261 Logic Board Replacement Thanks for your advice and help

The 15-Inch and 17-Inch MacBook Pro “Core 2 Duo” models share identical housings with the MacBook Pro “Core Duo” systems before them. You should have no problems. Here are the differences: http://everymac.com/systems/apple/macboo…

The link says that logic boards on these models are compatible with each other even the parts. I wonder if the connectors are the same.
