Actually, this is another of Apple's bright ideas. Technicians are not allowed to fix anything on a Mac board. The only solution is to swap the logic board. If you change anything on the board, Apple will disavow any knowledge of the board, and you are on your own. I got this from the technicians downstairs who do Apple repairs for the campus.
