Thinkpads Forum

I think the nvidia gpu on my t61 has finally given up.
The laptop boots fine and I can see a low resolution output on external monitor but the LCD remains black.

Reading up on forums here, I realized that the only solution to fix this is to replace the motherboard.

If you have one that you're willing to part with, I would be interested.

Let me know

I need to know what CPU you have. Are you sure it is the MB and not something cheap like the inverter? pm with the info.

any idea how much it will cost roughly ? im thinking to get one for my t61. my set confirmed is a nvidia issue.

I have a motherboard as well. But it sounds like the OP just needs a new LCD.

I think I need the motherboard, LCD is fine

Thanks everyone, I bought the motherboard from one of the members.
