Where to get replacement logic boards?

[Swanny]

Hello all,

My 2013 MacBook Air suffered a logic board failure today. Authorized repair shop needs $575 to replace it. Does anyone have recommendations on where online to purchase the part so I can replace it myself? I'd need the i5 8gb version.

Cheers,
Swanny

Would it be $575 for the logic board AND the work? If yes, that may not be such a bad deal.

Yes, $575 is the all in price. I'm realizing that's not too bad considering the nonavailability of spare parts. Ebay is about my only option to replace my 8gb version.

You could also ask the shop how much the all-in cost would be for the i7 8GB version...
