T430 - Scrambled Graphics on OS Boot

[maxdotworks]

I just completed a full installation of Skulls using the latest image files. The laptop powers on normally- I see the Skulls bunny splash screen, and I can press ESC to access the boot menu and select my USB device.

After that, the GRUB menu from the USB appears as expected. Once I select the "Install" option, however, the screen becomes garbled and unreadable.

This issue occurs consistently across multiple operating systems I tried: Windows XP, Ubuntu, Debian, and Qubes. I've also tried adding the nomodeset kernel parameter but it did not resolve the problem.
