    • Tilt the top edge of the board away from the rear case and lift the logic board assembly out of the rear case, minding any cables that may get caught.

    • When reinstalling the logic board, it is helpful to use tape to temporarily tuck the cables out of the way until the board is properly seated in the rear case.

    • During reassembly of the logic board, pay attention to the position of the I/O connectors. When the board is back in the case, insert a USB or Thunderbolt cable into one of the connectors to align it perfectly.

Competed the GPU replacement following this excellent guide. My iMac is as good as new, after weeks/months of randomly fragmented windows. Would not rate the repair as difficult, though, since no soldering/desoldering was required. Took between 4.5 and 5 hours (forgot to check the exact start time).

thx for yout reply. And i have a question.

I have done all these works. But i can't get the replacement of the GPU.

can i ask you where to get the replacement of the GPU?

it is very hard to find the GPU because it is pretty old model

hutch -

Hmm i have a problem with the graphics card with the imac and i need a card where i can find one....

zepa19 - Responder

Having similar issues with fragmented windows and then freezing in some cases. Very certain it is the GPU - do I replace the paste or the board?

frasermackie - Responder

Fraser, I suggest checking a youtube video on how to reset the GPU's solder connections. Apparently, with the overheating the solder connections loosen causing the fragmented windows and then freezing. Normally one would replace the GPU assembly, but since these are extremely hard to find and costly, resetting the solder connections might be the only option to try.

At YouTube.com search for "Casual iMac Video Card Repair".

I've been meaning to try this repair for two years now . . . finally going to give it a try.
