The last Intel iMacs - 21.5-inch Retina 4K and 27-inch 5K Retina - are still powerful machines worth repairing. Screen from AED 850, logic board from AED 1,200, PSU from AED 600. GPU failure is the most common board-level fault.

The Intel iMac lineup spans three distinct screen sizes and several chip tiers. The iMac 27-inch 5K Intel 2017 to 2019 runs Core i5, i7, and i9 processors with AMD Radeon Pro graphics, and was the last series to be built with user-upgradeable RAM slots. The iMac 27-inch 5K Intel 2020 added a nano-texture glass option and was the final 27-inch before Apple Silicon. The 21.5-inch models from this era are covered under iMac 27-inch 5K Intel 2019 repair. Finally, the iMac Pro 27-inch 2017 brought Xeon W processors and the Space Grey chassis, and remains unique as the only iMac Pro Apple ever released.
These machines are still worth repairing. The 27-inch 5K Retina panel is one of the finest desktop displays ever made, and the 10-core Core i9 configuration handles video editing, 3D rendering, and software development without bottleneck. RAM is upgradeable on the 27-inch models to 128 GB, which gives them years more life. The single highest-impact upgrade is replacing the spinning hard drive with an NVMe SSD: a 2017 iMac that boots in 45 seconds today can boot in 8 seconds after the upgrade. GPU failure is the most common board-level fault on 2017 models. The AMD Radeon Pro 570, 575, and 580 GPUs fitted to the 27-inch 5K models develop solder micro-fractures under sustained load, causing artefacts, kernel panics, and eventually no video output. The 21.5-inch 4K models used the lower-power Radeon Pro 555, 560, and 560X. Component-level GPU rework costs significantly less than a full logic board replacement and has a high success rate. PSU failure is the second most common fault, typically seen as a machine that powers on briefly then shuts off, or does not power on at all.

Our process
How it works
Free diagnosis
We inspect the iMac at no charge. For GPU faults we run a stress test to confirm; for PSU faults we measure voltages on each rail. You receive a written quote before any work begins.
Component repair or replacement
Screen swaps and PSU replacements are completed in 2 to 3 days. GPU rework requires specialised BGA reflow equipment and takes 5 to 10 days. SSD upgrades are same-day. We use quality-graded panels with colour calibration to match the 5K Retina standard.
Final quality test and cleanup
Every iMac leaves fully tested: display calibration, thermal sensor check, SSD benchmark, and a full boot cycle. We wipe the chassis and return the machine in better condition than we received it.
12-month written warranty
- • Up to 12 months on most hardware repairs (keyboard, ports, hinge, fan, speaker, SSD/RAM).
- • 3 months on screen and battery replacements.
- • 15 days on logic-board, liquid-damage, software and data-recovery work.
- • Free re-diagnosis if the same fault recurs within the warranty period.

FAQ
- Yes, in most cases. If the display and chassis are in good condition, a logic board repair or SSD upgrade extends the machine's useful life by several years at a fraction of replacement cost. The 27-inch 5K panel alone would cost over AED 2,000 as a standalone purchase. We will tell you honestly if the repair cost exceeds the machine's value.
- Thermal service and SSD upgrades are same-day. Screen replacements take 2 to 3 days. Logic board and GPU repairs take 5 to 10 days because component-level rework requires careful preparation and cure time. We provide a realistic timeline at the diagnosis stage.
- Early symptoms are graphical artefacts (coloured blocks or lines during GPU-intensive tasks) and unexpected restarts under load. As the fault progresses, the machine may boot to a corrupted or pink screen, then eventually fail to produce any video output. The AMD Radeon Pro 570/575/580 fitted to the 2017 27-inch 5K models are particularly prone to this due to lead-free solder micro-cracking under heat cycling.
- Yes - on 27-inch iMac models from 2017 to 2020 there is a user-accessible RAM door at the back. These machines support up to 128 GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM. The 21.5-inch models have RAM soldered to the logic board and cannot be upgraded. We supply and fit RAM at competitive prices.
