Hi.
2915 board customer says they have never had this board worked on.
Removed heatsink and found a 1612 DC 0005 that appears to have factory original markings.
Edge bonding on VRAM and GPU looks new and done exactly as you would expect to find.CPU bonding is the same and same new looking completely transparent bonding..... I was trying to find a difference in colour (color) as a clue.
Other signs are:
There is no SN the RAM slot sticker
A pile of NC tacky flux by Q7055
is this a third party repair or have Apple been refurbing these boards in 2016 with 2016 DC chips?
