Hi guys!
First time here and obviously for a good reason: my old iMac is giving up on me and I'm trying my best to save it!
It's a model A1311 with a radeon HD4670.
What it does is the following:
- After a normal use for 15/20 mins, the screen shows some artifacts first that after few seconds get worst, see pics below:
(Yes, I was watching a guy playing heartstone
- It's completely unresposive: I can sometimes see the mouse pointer move, but I can't interact. Not even a cmd+q with the keyboard.
The audio keeps going tough.
Now, what I'm trying to figure out is it's a video card problem or a logic board one..
Since I'm already in the situation below, I'd love to figure it out asap, so to buy the right component and swap it.
thanks to whoever will take the time to help me out!
