Thanks for your response!

It seems so that the nvidia chip went bad, time to look for a motherboard replacement, do you know any good reputable seller to get one?

The marketplace on this forum is a great resource for all things Thinkpad. I'd recommend you contact TuuS. Ajkula, TuuS and RealBlackStuff are but a few reputable sellers here.

Be careful of Ebay as most boards you get from Ebay are suspect at best. Good luck.
