Signs the logic board has failed

  • Completely dead

    No charge light, no response to a reset, nothing on any charger — with a known-good battery.

  • Water damage or corrosion

    Clean the board and its connectors first (90% or stronger isopropyl alcohol, battery disconnected): a board needs replacing only when it still fails after cleaning or corrosion has eaten into it. The ribbon pins that plug into the board (hard drive, headphone jack, click wheel and battery cables) often corrode too.

  • Boots, then misbehaves

    Freezes after the Apple logo even with a drive and battery that test fine, or no audio through a working jack.
