This is the fan (and the 2 appropriate FRU numbers) that you should

Ok thanks for the information about wd40.
I know I should of taken the keyboard off but I haven't done it yet on the t60
so 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?
Would any Thinkpad fan do or are do i have to specifically look for a t60 fan?
thanks
