Hello, So i would like to know what’s the name of the little device which is between the battery connector and the SSD connection, just before the little square named R68443R1D. I found an image where they say maybe an intel Hub (ref for mbpretina 2012 Intel E208B284). so is it the case an is it changeable…Because on my logic board it seems melted a little bit. And even if my battery seems ok and deliver power my system doesn’t start… Any hint? Or am in the mood of changing the whole board ????
Swap the board… without some very expensive equipment, swapping components on the MBP is an impossible task.
