I just noticed that there's no fan activity on my thinkpad, and idle temps are 
10-15c higher than they should be. Oddly, I'm having no problem using the 
machine, the cpu climbs rapidly but has not exceeded 60c, though this is with 
light use.  The fan is about a year old. 
I won't have a chance to open it up for a look for several hours ...
it's a T40, now with a "Dothan" 2.0mhz cpu
 
And now the fan just kicked on, leading to a temp drop, though it's about 8c 
higher than expected for the conditions.  So I'll have to open it up and take a 
look: what should I look for?  No clean, truly secure workspace will be 
available so few small parts can be pulled and I can't leave it disassembled. 
 
thanks...
