It doesn't help that the laptop is now powered by the same ports used for data and peripherals. Yes, any connected device can potentially damage the Logic Board, so make sure to use good quality devices. You are assuming the issue is heat related. If this can happen, then we have no way of knowing what was causing your symptoms without knowing a lot more details such as installed software and connected devices and seeing the issue first hand.
You can have someone else troubleshoot your system to see exactly what is going on. Just like anything else a second opinion may give you more answers especially if you can find someone who is very knowledgeable about these USB-C MBPros it isn't an exact science and it does require lots of direct personal experience which most techs likely won't have -- these laptops make that little sense when troubleshooting them.
I've been troubleshooting them since and I still don't consider myself an expert because they make absolutely no sense compared to troubleshooting older Macs or PCs in general this even includes macOS. I will no longer recommend any Apple computer to anyone from what I've personally seen and experienced with the hardware and with macOS. You can also contact Apple corporate to voice your displeasure plus you can also check your local consumer protection laws.
If you needed to have your data retrieved, then Apple should have offered to send the bad Logic Board to a professional data recovery service such as Drive Savers or Ontrack to attempt recovery of your data. Personally I would have insisted on having the Logic Board sent to Drive Savers to attempt data recovery. Our organization just had an SSD failure on a Logic Board 90 days after the laptop had its Logic Board replaced luckily we were within the 90 day part warranty so we got the Logic Board replaced for free.
Otherwise generally you should not have any problems with the replacement Logic Board assuming it was properly refurbished most are, but occasionally I have seen some very poorly refurbished boards from Apple over the years. Posted on Mar 15, PM.
I am waiting for the repair and will do what you said when the laptop is in my hands. I hope there is no problem with my SSD or any other component. Like the logic board was damaged and it causes the SSD problem, so will it be under warranty? But for me, it did not have any difference, both sides were overheating.
And I am also really frustrated with this MacBook Pro. I can't understand how a computer at this price and specifications can have some problems like this one or something simple like I can't have an external monitor connected to it without overheating, really really bad. I will read your post again when I got the laptop and will follow your tips.
Again, thanks a lot! Mar 19, AM. Page content loaded. Mar 15, PM in response to aleborbasevero In response to aleborbasevero. I've never experienced overheating. Your computer will shut down before it suffers damage due to overheating.
Mar 15, PM. I know we all are users. I did not understand your answer. I am sure many users here can help me with all, or at least the majority, of my questions. The words "post apple" at the beginning were an error because I copied and pasted this text from my notes. I read some old topics with similar problems, so there are people here that can help or guide me. There is no meaning in your answer when saying "contact Apple".
Of course, I will ask Apple but again, I believe people here can help or give suggestions and information. Knowing that your computer will shut down before it is damaged by overheating was of no value? Your whole premise is that the computer was damaged by overheating. I checked my warranty before contacting the authorized assistance, Apple, and the community - I have a warranty but it does not mean it's ok a laptop with 5 months of use to have a problem like this.
Especially when it constantly overheats. Of course, it is acceptable from the point of view that any component is susceptible to stop working - but as a customer, it is frustrating and easy to become worried and suspicious. Knowing that the computer would shut down before any damage was valuable, thanks! However, it raises another question - if was not the heating, what could damage it? I know, many situations might damage the logic board, but that is the reason why I asked the most common or worst scenario when dealing with a logic board.
As an example, you can see I also asked about SSD. I know only Apple will solve my problem but as I have zero knowledge about this kind of stuff I do not see any problem collecting opinions as I did searching on the internet to better understand this situation - and here is probably the best place.
All questions, excluding 4, are susceptible to community member responses in order to to help me. We cannot solve hardware problems. And, all electronic parts fail at some point - some sooner, some later. Unless Apple publishes an article explaining why it is failing which they do not routinely , there is no way an end user would be able to have an answer for you. The only person who could give you an answer would be the technician who took out the failed logic board and tested it in a professional lab for the cause of the failure.

SSDs usually just fail on their own for multiple reasons. Since Apple now integrates SSDs directly onto the Logic Board it means any Logic Board failures or damages will mean losing all data that is not backed up. They are the worst laptops Apple has ever made and it doesn't help that macOS is also deteriorating in quality as well.
Mar 19, PM. Precisely because of that, I recently bought both a refurb iMac from Apple with Applecare and a brand new in the box Macbook Air from a third party seller with Applecare original buyer never took it out of the box. I should be set for quite a while. I attached the print screen to this post. Based on their experience I am going to do the same.
I am not a power user so I just need the computer for general use. If I am successful with the repair and if I can get another few years out of it, it would be well worth it. Feb 4, PM in response to mmorales9 In response to mmorales9.
Hope you got yours from a reputable seller. Consumer Reports Magazine has an interesting suggestion about Appliances. They say if the cost to repair exceeds half the cost of a new one, by a new one. This can not be used as direct guidance, but it gives you an idea about how to start thinking about it.
Feb 5, PM in response to yuko In response to yuko Just this week I found one of our organization's laptops failed with a bad Logic Board specifically a failed SSD which is soldered onto the Logic Board. This laptop had the Logic Board replaced a little over 90 days ago. What is more disturbing is that the SSD failed because the SSD ran out of spare blocks and entered into read-only mode.
Since the user of this laptop certainly did not write 's of TeraBytes of data in less than 90 days and the rest of the SSD's health information is good this tells me Apple gave us a Logic Board where the SSD was near death. Luckily we are getting another replacement Logic Board under the 90 day part warranty I had to fight with Apple to get this since we were a bit past the 90 days when we realized what had happened -- the failure was confirmed by the user within the 90 day part warranty period as we had a kernel panic log to show the failure, but due to our excessive backlog of repairs we were past the 90 day part warranty period when we contacted Apple kudos for Apple for allowing a repair exception to be made for us as this is the first somewhat positive experience I've had with Apple in many years.
I was in your situation a few years ago. I decided to fix mine and it lasted another couple of years. A friend referred me to this independent repair person and I have been very happy with him. He was an authorized Apple service business as a one man shop until the Apple Stores rolled out everywhere and Apple pulled the repair business back to their own teams.
Maybe you can find someone like this that is fully qualified and experienced, but charges less than out-of-warranty work at Apple. Is it better buy a new one or repair? If this were me, I would base this on the price I paid for my original MacBook Pro , and if it is highly obsolete, in years.
