[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1733720, member: 56379"] On some iMac's the graphics hardware is soldered onto the logic board...and not really replaceable. On other iMac's the graphics hardware is on a replaceable card. If it's the latter situation...then in theory...the graphics hardware can be replaced. Problem is (many times)...the replacement graphics card is very very expensive (even used). So much so that it makes the repair not financially sound. Check eBay...and see what you find. If you're lucky...maybe you can find something cheap. Of course you should know that a 2007 iMac is pretty ancient in a 2016 computing world. Even at it's best...it's a slow poke.;) Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
