They are folks selling them on eBay all the time... This is the fan (and the 2 appropriate FRU numbers) that you should be looking for...

I know I should of taken the keyboard off but I haven't done it yet on the t60 o I did not want to go through what i expect is a lengthy process. How often do they turn up on ebay in the US? ould any Thinkpad fan do or are do i have to specifically look for a t60 fan? thanks Martin N At 22:46 05/10/2011, you wrote: No WD40 anywhere in *any* ThinkPad.... Proper way of cleaning the fan is with keyboard removed, and the fan held from above. You can get a new fan on eBay for about $40 around here, don't know the prices in UK.

Yes i know i should of fixed the fan before hand but i couldn't find anything thin enough to fit through the vents. Now of course it whines like mad and I was wondering if anyone knew how i could fix it? Would WD40 sprayed on the fan middle work? Otherwise it looks like I will have to find a dead t60 Thinkpad on ebay :( I am an idiot but hopefully it will serve to remind others not to do what i did.
