Hi,

Yes, you can purchase a replacement logic board for a MacBook Air A1932 from specialized Danish electronics and repair parts vendors (such as Mended, which occasionally stocks refurbished or pulled OEM parts), or order them through international logistics platforms operating in Denmark like Ubuy Denmark.


I would avoid third party resellers especially for a 2018+ Mac with a T2 security chip or an Apple Silicon CPU because it is very risky. The board may have a blank serial number, or perhaps somebody else's old system serial number which can cause all sorts of confusion to any online accounts, but especially with AppleID and iCloud. Plus the TouchID button's fingerprint recognition feature is paired with the Logic Board so you will lose fingerprint recognition.


Another risk is if that used Logic Board is still being controlled by a users iCloud/FindMy or a business MDM management system where you won't be in control of your Mac....it could be remotely erased at any time.


I don't recommend repairing any Intel Mac for multiple reasons, but especially not the USB-C Intel Macs. The money spent on repairs is much better put towards a new (or newer if buying refurbished from Apple) Apple Silicon Mac.

Thanks a lot for the input😊

Yes ok. I see the logic in that. Thanks for the input.
