Let me help explain things Apple produced two versions of this series the low end version which uses the Intel graphics engine which is within the CPU chip, and a high end series which offered a AMD discrete GPU. To simplify things here’s a listing of the two series:
As far as your image the CPU unit has two chips on the green carrier the smaller one is the I/O unit not the graphics as that’s held within the larger chip.
Laptop systems really don’t offer a way to replace the chips (either) your only option is to replace the logic board if CPU or the GPU chip has failed. But let’s not jump to that yet! Often times other supporting components fail which are replaceable like capacitors or resistors. This are still not easy and more so without the proper tools and skills.
I would recommend you locate someone locally that has Mac logic board repair skills. If you can give us where you live (country and nearest major city) maybe we can aim you to someone.
