http://www.arcticsilver.com/instructions.htm thanks, i've swapped my fan out with the new one and put arctic5 on it the fan is still noisy at times and i've made sure to fasten it properly. i guess in another year, i could consider shopping for a new laptop and won't get a thinkpad because of this ...

This may be an obvious question, but in terms of actually swapping out the fan, is there a forum resource on how to swap out the fan? I'm comfortable with taking it out, but I think there should be thermal grease applied in certain parts, correct?

Thanks!

Great, I ordered the IBM fan

Thanks for your help

Hi Bill, Thanks for your suggestion. I looked at the latest manual at http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/42t7844_04.pdf and it looks like my fan part # is also 41W0467. Putting that into the lenovo site (http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/P...

Hi Thinkpad Forums, I previously posted my question in this topic as an add-on. http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=92705 My Thinkpad T60 has had a long history of fan problems. The original fan was replaced in 2008, and now that replacement fan has broken down. So I'd like to buy a new ...

Not to steal this thread, but I figured I'd post in here since I have the same issue My thinkpad T60p has a bad fan (41V9932) and I need to replace it completely. I'm looking at the IBM/Lenovo support site and can't figure out how to order a new one: http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/...

I'm wondering why this t60 is giving so much trouble After the t60's fan was successfully replaced with the same appropriate part 41V9932, the fan noise is still extremely loud from a new ibm fan. By extremely loud, I mean that it sounds like it's broken. Could the noise be caused by anything else? ...

ok thanks for everyone's advice, i appreciate it i went through the marketplace and ended up buying a replacement fan from ibm/lenovo. then i was able to get the manual for self-replacement instructions. the only thing i'm not sure about is what the fan kit comes with, it appears i'll need my own th...

Talking to lenovo, out of warranty repairs start at $150 minimum. the way the phone support person (who doesnt enjoy his job) described it, it would be $150 to open a ticket and then to start to figure out the problem I wasn't able to get an estimate on how much replacing the fan out of warranty wou...

I had a rattling fan for a few months and only recently had it replaced by Lenovo Singapore. I tried cleaning it multiple times to no avail. Luckily it had the default 3 year warranty (bought in Australia). It took 2 working days - I was amazed. The tech said the fan was actually wearing out. The l...

i tried using the air duster on the fan and the laptop was quiet for the first few minutes but then my laptop is noisy again unfortunately, i'm out of warranty, whatever the default one year period is so i may have to find an authorized repair facility (near san jose, ca) or order it through lenovo....

Hello, I'm trying to pinpoint my issue and then solve it. My T60 has been extremely loud and audible for the past week, where I am worrying about it's lifespan. I have had it for a year or two, and it has always had what I would consider to be a noisy fan. However, the laptop is now noisy to the poi...

Whoa, that fixed it. I plugged my stereo line-in into my thinkpad and I was able to output to the speakers. Having unplugged the speakers, the sound is now coming out of my laptop speakers.

It seems like somehow, the output got stuck on the audio connector mode and not my laptop speakers.

Thanks

Hi all, I wish I could pinpoint a specific time/event that caused this, but I just noticed this a couple days ago. My T60, formatted with vista, used to have working sound, aka it was normal. In the past week, no sounds come out at all. I've gone through windows update and the lenovo system update, ...

i'm wondering if i can also use this thread to answer a question i have i'm interested in swapping my t60p harddrive with a newer, faster one would this work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145180 it's a Serial ATA150 also, i'm wondering if it would get too hot for a laptop...

sounds really tempting to do i'm interested in doing this from my 80gb (whatever lenovo gave me HD) to a larger one. i'm not sure if i should get a really large 7200k drive since it's still pricey OR go for more disk space that's only 5400k do you need to format the larger, newer drive before you tr...

a couple questions, does everyone think that the hitachi travelstar models are better (reliability, performance, etc) than the seagate 7200 models? (even though seagate has a 5 year warranty compared to just one) Absolutely what interface to i need for it to work with my t60: ata6 or ata150 (im kin...

Did you put the target drive (new drive) in the ThinkPad, and the source drive in the other enclosure? oh the target/new drive has to be the one that is booted up, and the old source drive should be put into an external enclosure? that would mean you need to install an OS onto the target drive firs...

i wonder if it will be any real function to the thinkpad lineup

in drive C, there should be a folder called SWTOOLS. you should copy that whole folder onto an external drive or back it up somehow. it contains application software for various things (such as dvd player)

I'd like a laptop I'm not afraid to move (since I'm not smart enough to fix the one I have), and one that is pretty darn fast, with more than 4 hrs battery life, that will run XP Pro. Not too many choices out there for new technology with XP Pro. I'm very happy that T61's have it as an option. sooo...

no more z series according to this article i think that's good as the thinkpad lineup needs some consolidation.. it's way too confusing (i think) with each one series having so many different base configs. something along the lines of apple with only having a couple base configs and letting customiz...
