ATI Radeon GPU Graphic Chipset 216-0769010 for iMac 27" (Mid 2010)

A 27-inch iMac from 2010 with artifacts on screen, a boot that stalls at the gray screen or a picture that freezes once the machine warms up is a classic graphics chip complaint. For a shop that does BGA work, replacing the GPU itself can bring a well-built all-in-one back into service instead of sending it for scrap.

This listing sells the ATI/AMD graphics chip with part number 216-0769010, described in the title as Original New. The listing names the iMac 27-inch A1312 (Mid 2010) as the compatible machine; it also mentions MacBook Pro without naming a model, so we don't list that.

Symptoms that bring this chip into question

• Lines, blocks or colored artifacts on screen and on an external display.

• A boot that hangs or a display that goes black under graphics load.

• Crashes that get worse as the machine heats up.

• Graphics errors that persist after a clean macOS install.

What the job involves

GPU replacement is BGA rework: removing the old chip with a rework station and preheater, cleaning the pads, reballing or using a pre-balled chip and reflowing with a controlled profile. It's not a soldering-iron job.

Before committing, confirm the fault is the GPU rather than the display, its cable or the power supply, and check the marking on the existing chip matches 216-0769010. When the board work goes well, an iMac like this can return to use for everyday office tasks.
