Well, what to say exept thanks for posting this. My screen looked almost like yours, I tore it apart, cooked it like you said, and it worked like a charm. Only thing was upon reboot, it did not recognize my harddrive. Had to adjust bios settings for the harddrive which allowed me to return back to normal! Thanks again!

This is using your household oven as a rework oven. This how it's done in repair shops all the time. Except they have a better temp control. The nvidia chip has a problem in that some of the connection are on the bottom of the chip. This makes it very hard to remove the chip or resolder it.

How to install a graphics cardby pennyfan87246,558 views
I am absolutely astounded, but this worked! My Thinkpad was essentially dead (no video, would not boot), I followed the instructions from this video to the letter and now my Thinkpad is back up and running like a champ. This might seem crazy, but if you have nothing to loose, it's worth a try. Others have posted similar procedures but no explanations on why this works; my guess is that heating the board to 380F will cause the GPU to reset, thinking it's overheating, but this is only speculation.

It's becouse bad soldering. After few weeks of extensive work solder weaken and finnealy losse contact.
In your case solder responsible of power supply must affected this issue.

@lenovomaniac Thanks for the reply. The curious thing is that I had my laptop for 3.5 years, and I've used my laptop day-in-day-out for all those 3.5 years and never had a problem until last week. So what caused the problem couldn't have been due to just a few week of extensive use. Do you think the same soldering issue applies to my situation as well and would does this mean for the permanence of this fix? Should I expect to be baking my motherboard again in a few weeks?

Definitely YES. Searching Internet I found that in this model this issue appear after 2 or more year.
I baked my mother board 3 times and after third i decide give it to service but no good because new motherboard cost about 450$ so in ma case i prefer buy new laptop. Every baking give life to my laptop for about 2 months.
