    What if they offered an upgrade path? New main board, you keep your shell and storage.

      Unlikely unfortunately, they don’t currently offer replacement motherboards at all.

      When the ifixit repair parts initially leaked, they had a replacement motherboard available but priced at $350. Later when ifixit officially started ordering repair parts, the motherboard was no longer available.

      My guess is that it wasn’t worth selling the motherboard for $350 when a 64gb deck was only $400. I’d imagine the same issue would apply to an “upgrade” motherboard.
