[alexander_s]

I am looking for a FAN assembly for my otherwise well behaved TP T60p; model number 2007WLY. Please let me know if you have one available and shipped cost to Houston, TX 77030. Thanks!

Hi,

"Otherwise well-behaved" but fan growls like a bear ha?

I have a couple, whisper-quiet, Brand New, P/N 41W6403, FRU 41W6407 for your machine (15" standard T60P). Genuine I.B.M. Lenovo part, comes with free thermal paste applied.

41W6407 is the preferred and would some say more effective fan for your model: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=89929

If interested, you can reach me via email (see signature below).

Have a great day,

Daniel.

Alexander:

In the case that you don't find what you're looking for via the Marketplace, you might want to see the thread Fan for T60 2007-CTO V3B where you will find much useful information about fan options for T60/p's. Your T60p, having the following stock configuration:

ThinkPad T60 (2007-WLY)
Based on 2007-CTO: T2500(2GHz), 1GB RAM, 80GB 5400rpm HD, 15in 1600x1200 LCD, 256MB ATI FireGL V5200, CDRW/DVDRW, 802.11abg wireless, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 9c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro

... has a discrete GPU and need the according fan, as per the thread just mentioned suggested (and in accordance with System service parts - ThinkPad T60, T60p (for 4:3 LCD models) being the fan with FRU = 41W6407. Be sure to get a new, original Lenovo-part, and not some "re-manufactured" or "refurbished" thing.

Update: I see that Daniel just "beat me" in responding first - but that he and I agree on the 41W6407.

Many thanks for all the prompt advice from all. I had to chuckle in that not only are there are TWO correct factory OE fans BUT one may also use the fan from a T61p. I decided to go with the new 41W6407 and hope to get some more miles out of my T60p.

You're welcome, Alexander.

By the way, you may also use fans from T500 in your T60p... these are claimed to be lower-noise (compared to the T60/p fans). Also, if you want to quiet down your T60p a bit, you may use one of the suggestions in the thread New methods to reduce the fan noise in a T60 or in a T60p.
