iMac 2010 Logic board repair and possible upgrade
Hello,
I have problems with my iMac i7 early 2010 video card. Unfortunately it is not repairable. I have to buy new logicboard. Can I upgrade with logicboard from 2011 models?
Thanks!
UPDATE (11/05/2017)
I have problems with my iMac i7 early 2010 video card. After everything was checked, I think that the problem is overheated 6 pin chip marked 638Y.
I couldn't find any information about it. Because of that I considered replacing the mainboard. Any information about that chip will be appreciated.
Is this a good question?

Ivan, Its best to not create a second duplicate question. I've copied your other one here.
How about giving us a bit more background on your system. Did it smoke or smell like something burnt? What does it do now and what happened when it went?

Hello Dan,
The background of the problem is as follows:
The diplay stopped to lighten up. I Think that the videocard is OK, because when power on the computer there is a opening sound. This chip, I've talked about is may be a key responsible for lighten up the matrix. It's situated next to the monitor socket and i think that it does not provide relevant voltage to triger the display lightening. Unfortunately I couldn't find specs od this chip.
