my T42 keeps crashing from bad fan/overheating

[DeionDavid]

I think it may be from my fan performing very poorly.

Does someone know how I can fix my fan? It seems to be a lot quiter than before and not blowing as hard.

I have a 2373-FVU

Thanks.

if its still under warranty, send it in. have IBM fix it and keep your warranty.

if not, take it apart and reseat the heatsink.

can someone please link me to a fan control utility so that i can monitor my fan to see whats happening?

lithium - i already called ibm. they are sending me a box for me to ship it to them. thx

You should probably clean out the fan a bit as well.
