Who wants to play video games?
|
I was looking for some advice, I have a 27" iMac mid-2010 that seems to need a GPU replacement. A few months ago pink boxes started popping up on screen and eventually the system will freeze until restarted. Everything I've looked up points at the GPU needing a replacement and everyone seems to say the repair from Apple would cost around $600. I've looked up the replacement card and it seems to go for around $299. I've contacted a third party Mac Repair shop and quoted me for $499 plus $90 for labor. I could theoretically try to do the swap myself, I looked up a GPU replacement guide but I'm honestly not sure if I'll be able to pull it off without breaking something else inside. So right now it looks like if I want to continue using this machine I'd have to eat the cost. I'm not looking to spend another $2000 for another iMac, but I feel like dropping $600 to fix a 7 year old machine is kind of a waste of money. What would you all do?
