I need the model number of the logic board for this computer (Santa Rosa 17″ 2.4 mid 2007) can you tell me? I cannot find it anywhere.
@joseph hernandez There really isn’t a “model number” on Mac logic boards. There is an Apple part number (which we can’t share) but that won’t do you any good as these aren’t sold on the open market and usually require an exchange with Apple to get any reasonable pricing. Any logic you can find for sale online is just going to be a pull from another Mac that had the logic salvaged. In that case, all you need to know it that you’re looking for another 17″ Santa Rosa 2.4 mid 2007 logic. Hope this helps.
