Does it have an Nvidia gpu, looks like the chip has failed.

yup nvidia. how much would it cost to replace?
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6400 with TurboCache supporting 128MB

It's intergrated on the motherboard, replacement board or you can resolder the chip buy getting it reflowed, quite a few places will do that, its the cheaper option but doesnt guarantee a permanent fix.

Would you no of any other motherboards from sony that might fit?

After having a look on fleabay nothing on there for mine just other sony ones.

Does if have a model number on the screen bezel, I think thats the chassis number on the base.
