Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I purchased a T61 15.4 display (Nvidia Quadro 140,T7500, 2GB RAM, WinXP Pro) about two weeks ago from a third party reseller (mainly because my Lenovo order was delayed and I needed it ASAP). I am strictly a business user - office apps, email, and developer tools including use of java applets. Within the first two days I was experiencing intermittent lockups and eventual blue screen with a "nv4_disp" error. I was also seeing what I would call pixelation where blotches of white and yellow pixels are visible. Eventually the entire screen would be grainy and then back again. I mostly noticed the lockups while flipping back and forth between apps quickly (something I do often on my old Dell). I have had the entire motherboard replaced by Lenovo once and the problem was not resolved.
I am considering fighting with Lenovo or the reseller to take the unit back and be done with it. Problem is the issues are not readily reproducible (I might work several hours before it happens) and I fear either party will take the machine, run a test, and tell me everything's fine. I really don't have the time or the patience for that. Has anyone had any of these issues before (particularly the BSOD) or any advice on next steps? All I really want is a laptop that runs - I don't want to have to worry about it. Thanks for the help.
