T61 failed NVIDIA GPU

#1 Post by RRHODY » Wed Aug 04, 2010 8:50 pm

PC Doctor confirms my worst fear - the T61 type 7665 failed the NVIDIA GPU test. Everything else was fine. No warranty, NOW - what are my options?

You could contact support and see what they've got to say about it. I think there was some Lenovo program to replace defective boards, but I don't know any of the specifics or who qualifies. Perhaps someone else can chime in here. Otherwise you're looking at selling it for parts/parting it out or replacing the board. I might suggest the Intel version if you're not gaming or the like.

Lenovo might repair your notebook even if outside warranty. Read Mark_Lenovo's statement here:
