iMac Gets Hot: Loud Fans and Display Shows Stripes

Fan is loud and my display shows stripes

Display Has Stripes - Graphics Damage?

Most iMac 27" from 2009. In principle, however, all iMacs are built similarly. Regardless of the year of manufacture. Only the components have become more compact over the years. Individual components have been merged or omitted. The photo shows the iMac without display. We replaced the graphics chip on the logic board and reassembled the iMac. It runs perfectly again.

Our technicians have the experience that many iMacs have defective graphics chips. We replace these and the iMac runs perfectly again.
