I have an IMB Thinkpad A31
Recently I have experienced some problem with the screen. It becomes dark no picute or it it comes up it will be shaking. I run a test and sometimes the video will fail the test.
I think I need to buy a new video card but I do not know where to get it.
Somebody suggested that I vist lenova.com but I did not see a link to parts
Any person with an idea please?
The video type is IBM Thinkpad and 16MB ATI Mobility RADEON 7500

NB is there any upgrade like 32MB intead of 16MB and will it work with my computer?

You will not be able to upgrade the graphics in your laptop ever.
Laptops are not upgradable like PCs.
You can add memory, put in a larger hard drive, or change the optical drive but no more than that.

I had a HP laptop last year that did the same exact thing. I had to replace the display. Found one pretty cheap on eBay. I would suspect this is your problem too.

I'd check ebay, I had an old Dell laptop and one day the motherboard just got fried and I got a brand new one for pretty cheap. I don't really know anything about laptop video cards or screens, sorry.
