IBM T43 FAN LUBRICATION

[kanewilliam]

There is no way that we can lubricate ibm t43 fan . Its fully sealed any ideas about it . My t43 fan gave me some rattling noises i have soaked the fan totally in some oil and now its running silently i dont know how long its going to last , but its fully sealed anybody else has any knowledge of how to lubricate the fan just putting the oil in the shaft of the fan and whether it is ball bearing run fan or sleeve bearing fan.

Thanks for your help , i am very much pleased but one thing i would like to tell here is there should be a search the forum tool should be there . thanks for your help any way i am not going to put a hole in my fan . its too dangerous if the broken parts fell in to the fan that cannot be taken away .
