[Lenovo Thinkpad T420] My displayport doesn't exist anymore?

Hey so, I'm pretty confused what is going on. Basically overnight a few months ago my computer just stopped recognizing that my displayport exists. I have a Nvidia NVS 4200M with optimus running bumblebee. My xrandr with or without optirun is:

xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 900, maximum 32767 x 32767
LVDS1 connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 309mm x 174mm
   1600x900       60.0*+   40.0  
   1024x768       60.0  
   800x600        60.3     56.2  
   640x480        59.9  
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Is the port dead? Is it possible for the port to die and he card to live on, lol? (The port is hard-wired to the video card)..

I'm just not sure what to do from here haha. I've found similar posts online from other T420 users but I haven't found a resolution yet.
