Lenovo ThinkPad T61p nVIDIA GPU Problem

Some ThinkPad T61p laptops use the nVIDIA Quadro FX 570M. These machines are prematurely failing with video problems. The 570M is also known as the nVIDIA NB8P-GL.

Sony, Apple, Dell and others are offering free extended warranties. IBM has done this in the past but as of right now Lenovo is not offering to repair the affected models.

ALERT: Lenovo Warehouse Sale UPDATE

A couple of days ago we blogged about the Lenovo warehouse sale near Greensboro, NC.

If the below price sheet is correct, this will be a WICKED SALE! Let's put it this way, we've bought and sold thousands of ThinkPad laptops, and this price list made our jaws hit the floor. These are priced way too cheap, some machine 80% current retail prices.

Price List.

Please note, the price list below may or may not be legit, we just bumped into it online. But the warehouse sale IS legit and there will be deals there.

Wilmington NC Laptop Repair


We had a Lenovo 3000 N100 notebook come in this week. Our customer lives in Wilmington, NC but brought their machine to us for a second opinion. The local shop to them in Wilmington told them that their laptop motherboard needed to be replaced and that the boards were around $600. When they called we informed them that our diagnostics are free and that we would be happy to check the unit out. The unit would turn on but would shut off when they tried to access the Internet.

They dropped the machine off and we took a look at it. The laptop would shut off after being on for just a minute or two- it didn't matter if the Internet was accessed or not. The unit was simply overheating. The area where the hot air is supposed to blow out was clogged with dust. We thoroughly cleaned it out. The unit also only has 512MB RAM and it supported DDR2. DDR2 memory is very cheap right now and our customer authorized us to bump the machine up to 2GB RAM which quadrupled the amount of memory.

The laptop now runs fast and cool!It was also repaired about 75% less than what the other people quoted, and correctly repaired.
