Yeah, I’ve seen such stuff on old forums. Unfortunately, a replacement GPU would cost around €50, and that is just not worth it to try obviously.
The CPU was €1.38 on AliExpress, so that was worth a try, but for the most part it just produced more heat
Some different GPU would probably work there, but then again, I don’t know if it is a GPU issue. It wouldn’t even show any drive activity when attempting to boot.
I had a t61p that suffered from it. Unfortunately I came to the same conclusion that it wasn’t worth fixing. It’s too bad since that was one of the last really good thinkpads.
Probably the faulty nvidia die substrate issue. I’m amazed it lasted this long, most of those chips died long ago.
