Question on macbook pro SMC CHIP repalcement?

[Weelcup]

Hi
I am just wondering if the SMC chip on A1398 apple macbook pro laptops are replaceable!

This is because these chips are pre-programmed.

Saying replaceable, i meant would it work if we replace, for example, the smc for 820-00426 board with an smc from 820-3787 donor board. Would it work or i need to source an smc chip from exactly similar board (820-00426)?

Thanks

You need to take SMC from the same model donor board. In your case 00163 will also work on 00426 as they are almost the same board.
