I've got an old 27" iMac (2011 with DVD slot) that has the dreaded 'grey screen' ie: it won't start up. I've tried all the various fixes but can't get past this. I'm guessing it could be a graphics card or possibly the hard drive.
Its been getting quite slow, even though there's nothing on it - most of my files are on Dropbox.
I was thinking of taking to a local Mac reseller to diagnose what's wrong with it and if they have to take it apart to replace a faulty part, I wondered if it's worth asking them to swap the drive for an SSD setup instead.
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
