Hey, I think you guys where right about the motherboard going bad in this post: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=95785

This morning, I turned on my thinkpad, and it said Fan Error, and shut down. I turned it on again, and it booted up fine, and the fan was fine too. Could this be yet another sigh of a motherboard failure, just like the USB ports in working in 2.0 mode?

Fan error is just that, nothing to do with a GPU or Southbridge.
Replace the fan to solve the problem.
