Wanted to pass along thanks on this one: - New fan is installed with far quieter operation
- Used a better cover of Arctic Silver for thermal grease - Went with a Core 2 Duo CPU so the processor is faster; going to attempt an x64 install tonight and see if it makes even more difference. 6 years old and back from the dead J From: Randy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2012 8:11 PM To: '[email protected]'; '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [Thinkpad] T60p Fan Error Really! I had no idea you could swap out the CPU on this model. any of those 5 will work?

FRUs that you should be looking for are 41V9932 (old version) or 41W6407 (new version). BTW, you can install a Core 2 Duo CPU in that machine to give it a facelift and get it to run both faster and cooler. Search eBay for T5500/5600 or T7200/7400/7600. Good luck.

I've popped off the keyboard and wrist rest and see that the fan is there, spins up as part of the initial power up but then stops itself. my guess is that the fan itself is close to death and the initial spin up is part of a death rattle. Looking for cheap suggestions on this, if it's even possible to fix. as it's a Core Duo (not a Core 2, so x86 only) which makes it somewhat elderly. don't know if this is a fan issu, since it spins on power up, or if it's a sensor issue, in which case pricy to fix. If y'all think it is a defective fan, does anyone have the part(s) to sell?
