I'm dealing with a dead screen and a battery on my MacBook 12-inch that only works when plugged in. Since I'm mainly trying to recover files from my drive, I bought a used 12-inch MacBook to swap the logic board into it. I found a $400 quote for the replacement, which feels a bit steep. I tried fixing the screen before but ended up messing it up because I couldn't find the right tools. Now I'm wondering if replacing the logic board is easier. Any advice or guidance would be really helpful!

Replacing the logic board is definitely doable if you have the right tools. Kits from iFixit are great, but look for other cheaper options too if you're on a budget. I recommend finding a YouTube tutorial specific to your MacBook model. Just be cautious when dealing with ribbon cables. Some might find soldering tricky, but you should assess your comfort level with that before diving in!
Thanks for the tip! I'll check iFixit for the tools and find the right video for my model.
