They were going to replace the logic board under that fault logic board repair program, but when they opened it up and saw liquid residue or whatever they changed their mind.ДЄgain it could be my ignorance to this type of stuff but I had a really hard time believeing it could work properly for 3 years then die as a direct result of that singular event, but if that is the case that is fascinating.

I'm not sure I understand how you would tell if it was 'video issues,' the guy that tested it at the Apple Store said that was in fact the case though. Like I said I thought it was fairly obvious, however it seems I did not tell the entire story. Most of them (unfortunately) not happy endings: We have an ongoing 5 year-old 25 page 'liquid spill' thread here at Mac-Forums with all sorts of liquid spill stories. The damage that liquid spills do can be very unpredictable.and doesn't necessarily have to 'show it's ugly head' immediately. Sometimes liquid spill damage can suddenly surface long after the spill. The coffee spill that happened could have damaged something else (other than the logic board). Then the computer would be working 100% fine. The old LB was removed error free.and the replacement LB was installed error free. If the replacement logic board was the correct one. If this were true.I'm guessing you wouldn't have run into the battery & trackpad issues mentioned in post #1.ДЄgain. It wasn't mentioned.also going to assume this computer is experiencing very high cooling fan rpm's (loud fans) when the CPU use is at 700+%. Caused by damage or error during removal.damage or error during install.incompatible hardware.or defective hardware. I've seen this sort of issue a number of times.

Which then also means that the answer (to at least one of the question's 3 thru 6) has got to be 'No'.since an error free removal & error free install of a 100% compatible logic board would not cause the high CPU kernel task issue.

Are you 100% sure the install of the replacement logic board went without any errors or damage?ДЄssuming you say 'No' to question #2.and 'Yes' to each of other questions.and assuming that an SMC Reset, booting into Safe Mode, an NVRAM Reset, or a fresh install of the OS doesn't solve the issue.then it's almost definitely a hardware issue. Are you 100% sure the removal of the old logic board went without any errors or damage? Are you 100% sure the logic board you got was 100% operational? Are you 100% sure you got the proper replacement logic board? Was it because of a severe fall or bump.or because of a liquid spill? It's very possible other hardware (in addition to the logic board) could have been damaged.

Why did the first logic board need replacing? For anyone that has any helpful information thank you so much! Im obviously in over my head. After replacing the battery I had difficulty even getting the computer to turn on, well it finally did and now I have noticed it is SUPER SLOW, looking at activity monitor: kernal task is constantly using like 700-900 % of the CPU, the CPU load is pretty much full, and it is using ~500 MB of Memory. I assumed the battery was bad so I replaced that as well. Well after replacing the logic board and upgrading to sierra, I noticed I couldn't 'right click' on the track pad because it was protruding up higher that the left side. Now I know some here probably think I had no business replacing the logic board on my own, but im not here to debate that, just seeking info as to what could be wrong with it now. Well i was able to find a logic board elsewhere for substantially less. I obviously had no intention of paying that amount of money to fix a computer that old. Took it to the apple store and they tested and said logic board was bad.
