No Go to step 4. If connection is OK on known- M10 good system, replace logic board. Go to step 5 If the symptoms do not M10 change, replace the logic board. If there is no performance or connectivity issue isolated solely to the system under test, the problem may be the network environment. No repair is necessary. If there are connection M10 dropouts or poor performance not seen on a known-good test system, replace the logic board. 2010-06-15 MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) Symptom Charts - Communications 56

3.
Verify if IP address is listed
for the Ethernet interface in
System Preferences: Network.
Connect computer to network
with known-good DHCP IP
allocation, ensuring static
DHCP maps or filtering is not
preventing address allocation.
Note: DHCP allocation may not
be instantaneous depending
on network.
Retest.
Yes
Go to step 4.
No
If connection is OK on known-
good system, replace logic
board.

4.
Verify connection by using
Network Utility to ping another
connected computer on the
same subnet.
Ensure the
target computer’s IP address is
valid, on the same subnet and
powered on. Ensure no MAC
address filtering or hardware
access control devices are
present. Use a simple hub/
switch environment.
Yes
Go to step 5
No
If the symptoms do not
change, replace the logic
board.

5.
Verify Ethernet performance
and reliability by starting up
from a known-good OS install,
and downloading a large file
from a web site or file server.
Yes
If there is no performance or
connectivity issue isolated
solely to the system under
test, the problem may be the
network environment. No
repair is necessary.
No
If there are connection
dropouts or poor
performance not seen on
a known-good test system,
replace the logic board.
