Changing Logic board from 8GB to 16GB, but still shows 8GB.
My Macbook took a jump to the floor and one of the USB ports was pushed into the cabinet and broke the main board, so I went on eBay and purchased a used one.
Seller said it was early 2013, and 2.3GHz and 16GB.
My old board was 2.4Ghz and 8Gb.
Upon changing the board, and thanks to iFix that went as a dream, I start the Mac. It took some time first time, but came up with the good old screen. Password Ok, and charging OK. Screen didn't take any damage in the "jump", so all looks fine.
Then I went into System to see status, and there I read to mu alas: 2.4GHz and 8Gb - same as I had before I changed the logic board.
So now my question is: Do I have to update any system Flash RAM or something like it? or should the system automatically find new clock speed and new RAM size?
And if the latter: the swindler on eBay has sold me a wrong logic board and charged me for 16Gb that I didn't receive.
8Gb boards are much cheaper to buy on eBay.
