S> T61 or its parts (problematic video card) ($300 OBO?)

[starlancerii]

So a while ago, my beloved T61, just 2 years old (from September 2007), started having problems. Posting on these forums (http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=82146) I found out that my video card was having connection problems with my motherboard. Alas, I was in the mood for a desktop, and so decided to get a new computer, forsaking this otherwise perfectly good laptop. However, my loss can be your gain! Maybe you can get my video card working properly again with a heat gun! Hook the laptop up to an external monitor and its as good as new! Or maybe you need some replacement parts?

This is my first time selling or buying something on this forum, so I'm not quite sure how this will work, but I'd prefer to just sell this laptop whole (less hassle for me). Otherwise, I'll part it and sell the parts individually. Oh, and I still have my windows vista install disks, in case somebody wants those. I have no idea how much to be asking for this - maybe $400? Make me an offer?

As per Forum rules, you need to put in an asking/selling price.
And it would also help to give us the Type/model (see sticker on bottom of T61, looks like TYPE 2345-67U).

Apologies, I've updated the post with a tentative price (I really have no idea how much this is worth) and a part number.
