Speaking of which, does anyone happen to have a spare fan for a T42 15"
screen?

Fan is easy to replace on T4x machines, nothing to be scared of. Follow
the HMM and you'll be golden.
Make sure to clean the CPU and GPU from whatever thermal compound is left,
and apply a thin layer of Arctic Silver prior to re-assembling everything
back together.
You can be done in less than 15 mins even if you've never done this
before.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Subject: [Thinkpad] T43 cooling fan starts to make noise
At start-up, my ThinkPad T43 makes some slight 'grinding' noises for
about 1-5 seconds, no more noise thereafter. The "ThinkPad Computer
Hardware Maintenance Manual" indicates that the cooling fan is not a CRU
(customer replaceable unit). What I see in the diagrams, the cooling
fan should not be hard to replace by the owner. Any suggestion or
advise? Did anyone replaced a fan in a T43? By trade, I am a retired
tool and machine design engineer, so I an not a afraid of screwdrivers,
(even sledge hammers) or tinkering with computer 'innards'.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Zoltan
