macbook 2.2 upgrade to 2.4
Hi all, I have a macbook 2.2Ghz with a bad logic board. I got a 2.4Ghz logic board and installed it. I get the 3 beeps for bad ram when it posts. The ram is known to be good and have tried various attempts to reseat the ram and use other known good ram. Did I get a bad 2.4 GHZ board or are they incompatable? All conections were the same and installation went off without a problem. Thanks in advance.

Re: macbook 2.2 upgrade to 2.4
There must be something wrong. There is much more than the mobo to those. The SMU could be different. Also, they use different RAM speeds most likely, so did you make sure you put the correct spec of RAM that matches the mobo in? Also, where did you get the mobo from?

Re: macbook 2.2 upgrade to 2.4
The ram is the same for all MacBooks except for the pro. I got the board off ebay and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything before I send it back. Does anyone know any compatibility issues I could have missed? Thanks in advance!

Re: macbook 2.2 upgrade to 2.4
Please don't bump threads. It will get you nowhere here.
Not all Macbooks take the same RAM. There are two different Macbooks with 2.4Ghz CPUs on them, one takes PC2-5300 DDR2, and the other PC3-8500 DDR3.

Re: macbook 2.2 upgrade to 2.4
THe unibody is still a Macbook, and it has a 2.4 CPU in it, and you didn't say it wasn't a unibody. But still, if they were both pre-unibody Macbooks, there still could be a difference. The 2.4 could have different power requirements than the 2.2, hence why it won't start, or there could be some other part that is bad. How did you narrow it down to the mobo, and not the RAM or some other part that failed?
