Where is the rest of this guide?
Obviously not following this guide, I opened my iMac that had full graphics failure, uninstalled the GPU-card, cleaned it, baked it in the oven to soften the solder and let the chip reattach itself, added new conductive paste, reinstalled it and it worked again.
I can't remember the temperatures, but there are tutorials to be found.
Non è una guida. Manca tutto!
This guide only covers removal of the outer glass and LCD display. Where are the rest of the steps?
As I understand from other guides, you should not pull the screen off fully until detaching some cables. Also, if you do get the screen off then what? How do you replace the GPU? And is reassembly simply a reversal of previous steps. This "guide" needs a lot of work to be usable (and complete).
