Title
Repairing iMac Intel 24" EMC 2267 Graphics Card
Introduction
When the VRAM on my early-2009 24" iMac went bad, I feared I might need to trash the machine. Some sources suggested the video card was soldered to the logic board but that may only be true of the base-model iMac. The ones with the nVidia and ATI upgrades are repairable/upgradable as illustrated in this guide.
You'll need to open the iMac, disconnect all cables from the logic board, remove all retaining screws from the logic board, remove the logic board, then replace the video card.
