The VT Boys opened up a new MacBook Air

The VT Boys opened up a new MacBook Air as this one was not running to well, ones on the fan inside to make a noise and did not stop. The machine is not a speed monster however with a new Intel Broadwell 1.3Ghz chip, speedy PCIe SSD and 4Gb DDR3 ram it should run fine.

So we decided to open up the MacBook and have a look inside. The first thing we noticed was how small everything was, the first thing we took out was the PCIe SSD flash drive, that was easy just one screw and pop it came out. The next thing to go was the battery, again so thin but it takes 75% on the space inside. Out with the motherboard and fan, there was no officious signs of water damage or corrosion. So Mr.Gadget said it must be a logic board problem which will cost around £200.00, so we just have to wait and look around at Ebay or other second hand Mac online places.
