Dead R61

[filip1331]

Hi!
I've got Lenovo R61, but not working. But personally I think it's worth fixing. The point is that when I plug power only for just 1 sec blinks power and battery led. If I unplug and push power button + plug power then I get continuos flashing power led.
I was looking for solution on forum but nothing really worked out for me. I dissasembled lenovo so i took out wifi, hdd, cdrom, ram but nothing changes. No sound just short blink of power and battery led.
Power supply is fine, i have checked 2 of them with multimeters.
Could it be a problem with gpu on motherboard? Have you met with anything like this before?
Thx
Filip

Ps: If I am going to have to buy new motherboard I would really apreciate for some information. Does T60/T61/R60 motherboard fits fine instead of mine actual one? I have seen pics and it seemed to be same size without any diffrences
PS2:I've got R61 8918-5wg

Welcome to the forum.
T61/R61 with nVidia graphics will all have problems.
The nVidia GPU has a manufacturing fault and every single one will fail, not just on IBM/Lenovo but also on Acer, HP, Dell and others.
You will need the same size motherboard as your current one (15.4" widescreen), but look for one with integrated Intel graphics.
