I have a Lenovo T 61P 6459CTO. Last year it stopped working. I was in India. My college junior owns a computer service center near where I live. He did a favor to me looking at my laptop. He said that the (nvidia) video card is done. He did something to get the system running temporarily. But he said, it will again die anytime. He helped to do backup. As he said, it did die in few days. We couldn't get the right video card to replace when I was there. Glad if I had done so.
Laptop is out of warranty. So I cannot go to a service center here in US. Not much money to get a new one.
Here are more details:
In the laptop parts it says that it has NVID Qua FX570M-256 MB Op. GL.
It also says nVIDI Qua FX 570M w/WW, AMT QTY
I got the laptop when I was in good condition and all. Its worth a lot to trash it just for this.
I would like to do a replace myself if it is possible. Since I am completely a new one to do laptop dis-assembly and so on... I would like to ask experts here.
There are few questions.
Can I purchase like this from amazon for this replacement? Here is a link:

This does not look like a laptop part.
I do not know if it will be feasible to get this video card from online.
Then I do not know if it will be replaceable in the motherboard.
So ---> would it be simpler, if I get the whole mother board or a old laptop of the same kind from ebay for under 200, remove the card and do it myself?

Any advice is great...
