ilpala Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hi, a friend of mine gave me a logic board with cpu, gpu, ram heat and the psu of an imac late 2013. I also own the same exact imac (that is working without any problem) Both the logic board and psu works Will this 2 pieces enough to boot? or there will be some problems? Do i need to connect other boards (airport for example) to boot or the board will shut down because it doesn't have all the pieces? I have the thunderbolt to hdmi cable which works fine on my imac (but only works from the login screen, not from the loading. the screen remains black till login) I can also make a carbon copy of my ssd. Tell me if I can make a "cheap mac" or if i just should sell them on ebay thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouCioccio Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/307924-using-a-broken-imacs-hardware-as-a-desktop-computer-kext-help/page-2 Looks like a lot problems see above link and it ran really slow. It seems the iMac has a lot of sensors on various parts and without those working it does not seem to work. Lou Cioccio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 to boot you will need a Drive - HDD, SSD - even external will do it.To be sure if it starts set the start SOUND FOR THE UEFI - was some keyboard reset key kombination.Normally with PSU and MB is not enough - you need a RAM at least 1 Module! SO RAM + MB + PSU = STARTS TO have Video - you need the video card connected too.
