Before you swap the board
Fit the sensor that comes with the board
Each board ships with its own paired Touch ID sensor. A sensor from another board won't pair; the Mac still works, but Touch ID stays off.
Soldered, not upgradeable
Memory and SSD are part of the board. Pick the configuration you need now.
Fresh macOS, unlocked
MDM-free, iCloud unlocked and reset, with macOS installed. Your MacBook takes the new board's serial number, and macOS may list the board as "Used" under Parts and Service.
Send us your serial number
Message us on WhatsApp and we confirm the board fits, or share real photos before you order.
Fitting the board
Hard · a long bench job
No soldering, but most internal parts come out and small connectors are easy to damage. If you haven't done this before, use our free fitting.
Main steps
- Turn off auto power-on (macOS Sequoia or later, Terminal:
sudo nvram BootPreference=%00). - Remove the bottom case (P5 pentalobe screws) and release its clips.
- Disconnect the battery before anything else.
- Unplug the display, Touch ID, Touch Bar, keyboard, trackpad, speaker, fan and antenna cables, and remove their brackets.
- Remove the fan and board screws and lift the board out.
- Fit the new board and its own Touch ID sensor, reconnect every cable, connect the battery last, and test before closing.

A2338 logic board: your questions
Which MacBook does this board fit?
Only the MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 (2020), model A2338 (EMC 3578). It does not fit the M2 A2338 (EMC 8162) or the Intel 13-inch. Check the model number on the bottom case, or send us your serial number on WhatsApp and we confirm before you order.
My Mac says A2338: is it M1 or M2?
Both use the A2338 model number, but the boards don't swap. Look for the EMC number printed next to it on the bottom case: EMC 3578 is the M1 (2020), EMC 8162 is the M2 (2022). This board is for EMC 3578.
Will Touch ID work?
Yes. The board comes with its own paired Touch ID sensor, so fingerprint unlock works. A sensor from a different board will not pair; without its paired sensor the Mac works but Touch ID stays off.
Is the board iCloud or MDM locked?
No. Every board is MDM-free, iCloud unlocked and reset, with macOS installed before dispatch.
Will my data move to the new board?
No. The SSD is soldered to the logic board, so your files stay on the old board. Back up with Time Machine or iCloud first if the old board still starts.
Will my Mac show anything different after the swap?
Your Mac takes the serial number of the new board. In System Settings › General › About › Parts and Service, macOS may list the logic board as Used or Unverified, and Apple says an unverified board can limit some features, such as Apple Pay. Everything else works normally.
Can I upgrade the RAM or SSD later?
No. Memory and storage are part of the board, so choose the configuration you need now.
How does the trade-in price work?
Choose With Trade-in and send us your old defective A2338 board. Send it first and we dispatch when it arrives, or pay a refundable core deposit (₹2,000–₹4,000) to get the replacement straight away. Choose Without Trade-in to keep your old board.
Can I fit it myself, or will you fit it?
It is a hard, technician-level job. We fit it free: walk in at our Chennai store, or courier your MacBook to us from anywhere in India and we fit, test and ship it back free.
What warranty do I get?
A 3-month replacement warranty by Sparesonly.in. It doesn't cover installation damage, liquid damage or short circuits from improper handling.
i purchase a laptop A2141 battery is draining fastly i ping through whatsapp number i didint get proper reply, please consider the request
Hi P S PRABHAKAR, thank you for your review, and sorry for the wait on WhatsApp. That reply should have reached you faster.
Your A2141 was fully tested before dispatch. When we looked into the fast battery drain, we found the Mac had been updated to macOS Tahoe. On this 2019 Intel MacBook Pro, Tahoe can cause heavy background activity and faster battery drain. We explained this in our email and shared our guide, and the product page also advises against this update.
We would still like to put this right. You can send the machine to us and we will reinstall the OS for free, or you can follow our step-by-step guide to reinstall it yourself. Please note that, as stated on the product page, the warranty does not cover issues caused by the Tahoe update.
Please WhatsApp us on +91 7010545974 or write to support@sparesonly.in and we will take this forward with you directly.
