iFixit successfully swapped logic boards between two MacBook Pro models with PROLED XDR Display and enrolled a fingerprint afterward, 9to5Mac reported. The new model recognized the battery, display and Touch ID sensor through Apple's Repair Assistant; last year's M5 MacBook Pro failed to complete Touch ID calibration after a board swap.

True Tone, brightness controls and the touchscreen also worked with the donor board. Other repairs remain involved: replacing the independently replaceable USB-C ports, fans or headphone jack requires removing the logic board. HDMI, SDXC, RAM and storage remain soldered to it. iFixit assigned the model a repairability score of 5 out of 10, one point above last year's M5 MacBook Pro.
