Hello, i have t60p with ATI firegl v52500 it was overheating from time to time. One day it showed me fan error, so i dissasemble it and put some oil in it and then i recognize another problem http://postimg.org/image/6d7yvolo1

Maybe someone know how to fix this or have any tip/advice?

The only thing you can do is replace the LCD, it is beyond repair.
You'll need another 14.1" SXGA+ (1400x1050) LCD, one of these:
Samsung 13N7059
BOE-Hydis 13N7061
TMD 13N7063

Are you certain it's the LCD and not the GPU?

My guess would be GPU is well, so a new motherboard is in order.

I checked with external LCD display and it gets the same visual effect. So it means motherboard needs to be replaced?

So it seems...

The prices andavailability of boards in Poland are very discouraging :/ what do You think about buying that t61 one and add rest from my t60p? Will it fit properly? http://allegro.pl/plyta-ibm-t61-14-1tft ... ml#thumb/1

That's a 14.1" widescreen T61, its motherboard does NOT fit in a T60/p.
And I agree with the others, that you have indeed a GPU problem.

I thought that 14.1 all are non widescreen. How do U check this?
Anyway If i do find non widescreen its possible to swap them right?

The 14.1" T61/p standard 4:3 machine labels all start with TYPE 8xxx, any 6xxx or 7xxx T61/p is a widescreen.
But I don't know now if such a standard T61 mobo fits in a standard 14.1" T60/p, never done it.

Yeah, it should fit. Possibly with some or all of the same minor modifications that are required to fit in a 15" T60 chassis.

That looks like a Video RAM issue. I doubt it is the GPU itself, as in the BIOS it is in a very simple text-only mode dating back to the 1980s in implementation, so the RAM used for the buffer is the most likely culprit. You may be able to reflow this one.
