iMac's 27” 2009 MB (820-2507-A) interchangeable with 820-2733?
I’m wondering if the Core Duo 2 MB (Motherboard) (820-2507-A) from the Late 2009 27” iMac, is interchangeable with the 2009 27” iMac i7 MB 820-2733? My MB died leaving my iMac completely powerless so I am looking to replace the old with a working one and instead of buying the same Core Duo 2 I was thinking it would be better if I upgraded to the i7, since I found one for $50 which still has the cpu/heatsink attached to it which is a good deal so only if it is possible and interchangeable.
I just want to hear a chime and see a white screen on the display again and have already torn the insides of the iMac completely. Since it is the same year 2009 core duo 2 —> 2009 i7 im thinking it would be fine but just double checking. Only different years wouldn’t be compatible correct? Such as 2009 -> 2010/2011 i7? I will be plugging in my same ATI Radeon 256MB Graphics card.
It looks exactly the same and all the plugs seem to be there which I double checked, only a few minor differences like the battery location and that silver spike thing, so I hope this transplant is possible….
