1 replaced motherboard and still have black screen
hope someone has an idea;-/ i bought t61 which wouldnt do more than show powerlight ,battery charging and a Z on the led row
it was one with the invidia death chip I figured (1489)so purchased a board that was listed as alternative lenovo used with intel chip (1487)
just got it replaced and powered up to find?
exact same problem!
bills mounting but i would like to get the darn thing working
fan comes on cant hear much in the way of drive activity…
and when i pressed the vantage button i did briefly see the littl house symbols 2 of them
snuck up on it again and got the house symbols very briefly before they departed again
without hitting the vantage button
Is this a good question?

hi and thanks oldturkey;-)
I borrowed a screen n cords today and…ZIP!
the thinfilm appears to be intact no tears etc i can find
so cheesed off and pulling screen to bits would be a right pain!
guess its looking like the only option
or just finding a trashed one with a hopefully ok screen to do a total swap?
its the older IBM thinkpad logo be annoying to lose that
cheers, L

Yes it would be okay to do a total swap. It'll be easiest
