T42 needs service - any suggestions?

[rgrosz]

The video card in my two year old ThinkPad T42 seems to have died (see pictures).

The 4 photos in the top row show the laptop display. The first two on the bottom row show how it looks on the external monitor. The last two photos show how I am using Windows XP Remote Desktop to access my T42 from another PC.

I live in Marietta, GA. Is there a better idea than sending it to IBM/EzServ for service? Can anyone recommend any local Atlanta authorised repair shops that do a good job?
