I have an IBM ThinkPad T42.
When I press the power on button, I get two beeps,
and the words "Fan Error" on the screen.  After
about 30 seconds, the system powers itself off.

I have tried it with and without the AC power; both
ways fail the same way.

I blew air into the opening on the left hand side
of the case.  That did not help any.

I assume I need to take the unit apart and clean
the fan.  Anything easier to try first?
