Yeah, I’ve seen such stuff on old forums. Unfortunately, a replacement GPU would cost around €50, and that is just not worth it to try obviously.
The CPU was €1.38 on AliExpress, so that was worth a try, but for the most part it just produced more heat
Some different GPU would probably work there, but then again, I don’t know if it is a GPU issue. It wouldn’t even show any drive activity when attempting to boot.

I had a t61p that suffered from it. Unfortunately I came to the same conclusion that it wasn’t worth fixing. It’s too bad since that was one of the last really good thinkpads.
