AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1GB graphics card for the iMac Intel, Alu 27".
This range suffered from a common GPU failure, which was later covered by a replacement programme with Apple. That programme is now over.
This listing is for a 'non-reballed' graphics card. This range has a very common graphics fault and the only way to fix it long-term is via reballing. See our re-balled listing below.
The fault occurs when the lead free solder under the GPU cracks and loses connection, it is often not a component fault. So a 'reball' (the process of replacing the solder under the chip with leaded solder) is the only sure way of repairing the board. To be clear, although this card has been stress tested and found to be fully working, it has NOT been reballed and we have a separate listing for the reballed version of this card. it is covered by a 1 month warranty against failure, but for a stable more long term fix, please see our reballed listings. This product is meant as a cheaper but higher risk option.
