The logic board of the MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011), model A1286, 2011, 15-inch. Known faults are being collected.
No guided tree is live for this board yet. The profile, the viewer and manual entry are there on the free plan, and the first sessions on it build the tree.
Checked on 2026-10-29 against 2 sources: corrected. Model name changed from the CSV's 'MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)' to 'MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011)' in the consistency review. The row's own notes and sources show 820-2915 shipped first in the Early 2011 A1286 (MC721LL/A, MC723LL/A, APN 661-5852, macofalltrades) and again in Late 2011 (MD318LL/A, MD322LL/A, APN 661-6161), and the catalogue names a board that spans releases after its first release (as done for 820-2914, 820-2375 and 820-2532). Year unchanged (2011); identifier MacBookPro8,2 covers both releases. Board spans Early 2011 (MC721LL/A, MC723LL/A, APN 661-5852) and Late 2011 (MD318LL/A, MD322LL/A, APN 661-6161) per macofalltrades; Rossmann files it as '15 inch 2011 A1286'. Apple lists both as MacBookPro8,2, so the year is 2011 either way. If the picker needs one entry per release, both 'MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011)' and 'MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)' belong to this board number. Revision A is a placeholder until Studio records the real revisions.
