Logic board replacement

I know the general consensus seems to be that they are not really worth replacing but I'm wondering has anyone ever picked one up from Chinese sites or ebay and done the job themselves?

What machine are we talking about? In the past I've replaced logic boards on dozens of mid/late-2000s MacBooks and iMacs and it (usually) worked out fine. Excellent on-line step-by-steps usually get around any confusing bits for specific models, and you can get it all done inside an hour easy.

The key thing is whether the price of the board and the time involved in sourcing are worth the result... I've usually found that it was.

If you're talking about those fiddly tablet/phone things I haven't a clue.

Where would be the best places to source it?
