Alternative GPU repair facility in US?

[digitania]

All,

Can anyone point me to a good, reputable company that does GPU repair on T4x Thinkpads?

I used GPU Medics once -- and I'll never use them again. They RUINED a T41 board I sent them, claimed I had a bad display (which I didn't -- I put it on another machine and it's worked flawlessly for over a month now), and kept my machine for MONTHS promising to return it -- finally did after a very strongly-worded email on my part. I can't prove for sure that they didn't take my system board out and replace it with one they cooked -- but suffice it to say that the entire experience was so bad that I'll NEVER use them again, and I would recommend that NO ONE send them hardware for repair.

That being said -- who else is out there (in the US) that does this? If there's no one, then I've got two additional boards that will be going in the trash because they have GPU problems... which is sad.

TIA for replies/recommendations.

If you don't happen to find a good resource to perform this service, don't give up on the boards - there's always the heat gun/oven reflow method, which is at least worth a try before you trash them.

I/We should (finally) have about 10-15 T4x mobos by next week.
Just got the list of what type mobos are coming.
