So i had to scrape together things to be able to submit for my finals so i wouldnt totally bomb the course. i was unable to recover the web design files as they were on the macbook and i couldnt remember right off which folder it was in. Instead, i was forced to go back to my PC laptop and try recreating some of the files that were made by mac only applications into something similar on windows. if he could have gotten it back by the 7th as he'd hoped, i would have been fine. This is rather frustrating for me as my macbook had all my college files on it and this problem happened right before college finals (i technically lost about 2 months worth of web design files and class files) where much of what needed for finals was on that computer.
#2012 MACBOOK PRO LOGIC BOARD UPDATE#
I called on Thursday for an update and the servicer was frustrated with Apple that something is going on and he hasnt received the part as Apple usually gets him these parts within 1-2 days of request.He said he will call me once Apple gets him the part as he will get on the repair once the part comes in. Anyways, he ordered a new logic board from apple last monday (May 5th, 2014). We agreed that since he had the macbook pro already and since it was applecare covered, we should go ahead and replace the logic board. Well on May 5th, i got a call from him that with the replacement hard drive, the computer still had similar issues and was able to track it down to logic board issues. He hoped to have my macbook to me by May 5th. Soon after he got the data backed up, the hard drive showed signs of failure to happen soon.
#2012 MACBOOK PRO LOGIC BOARD INSTALL#
He asked to keep the external drive as it has a partition that is a USB install disk of the latest Mavericks. The servicer made a time machine backup of the data on the hdd and got the backup on my external drive. When i spoke to the servicer, he and I agreed that at minimum the hard drive was failing.

So thenI took my macbook pro into the local authorized apple service center (on April 29th) as i suddenly got 'open error 5: input output error' errors and my mbp wouldnt boot at all. due to this, i had been unable to get the time machine backup to work as it would freeze for 12 hours on average. Suddenly it would take 5 tries just to get it to boot.

Going into the final two week of my college semester, the macbook started freezing and tacking almost 5 minutes to boot.

Starting in late march, i had noticed some performance issues but never took it in as the issue would subside within a day or two. I have a macbook pro 13" Mid-2012 non retina covered under applecare until Jan.
