Eventually, 6 months, my T60 fan starts making noise[*cluck*cluck*cluck*] from the motor area when its runing. when I rotate laptop to different angle the noise changes as well. I just called IBM ezservice and got all San Francisco local service cernter, and I found out they are all out of business now.......
Should I get a fan from internet and replace by myself? does it void any warranty? which website I can go in order to get a good fan?

Are you reluctant to send out your machine to EasyServ (a.k.a Solectron)?

I need to use laptop for my daily task. If I have no choice, I will sent it to them, but I dont know how long it takes to sent it back. maybe 2 weeks?

5 business days from the time it's received by depot, however it could take more or less time depending on parts availability, time of the year etc...

I just sent in my Thinkpad for what I suspect will be termed a "system board replacement". The Thinkpad went out (via DHL) to EZServ on Thursday (7/26) and is scheduled for delivery today 7/30).

Although we've all heard the horror stories of 2 month long repair trips...

if its two months, it will piss me off coz my school has already started.
BTW, I just called them and request a service. I will got the box tomorrow( wish its morning, then I can ship it in the afternoon). and sent them back. Do I need to pay shipping fee ?

Nope, IBM/Lenovo/EZServ covers all the shipping fees.

You'll receive pre-paid labels alongwith the box.

Thanks guys.
Wish they can slove all problems of my labtop:
1st problem: LCD has buzzy noise when I dim the screen. the noise come out from up right hand corner. this problem came on day one when I got the brand new laptop from Lenovo. LCD has been replaced before by local service center, but problem wasnt sloved.
2nd problem: Fan error with *cluck* noise from the Fan motor area........
I dont know if I abuse my laptop, usually I never turn off the laptop,so its 24 hours working during the break and weekend, and 16 hours in school day.

You'll be provided with a sheet to explain whatever problem(s), you're having.

i just sent my machine to Easyserv, but I checked the company i sent was called Solectron in Memphis. I wish they wont screw up my laptop coz i have read a lot of negative feedback of their service from this forum. Hey, jlachesk, did you get ur laptop back from them?[/code]

What causes the noise? Is it like a random occurrence?

Also, I'd rather not start another thread, so I'll ask my question here.

I leave my computer on almost all the time, so when I get my thinkpad, should I turn it off when I go to bed or at certain times when I'm not using it? Additionally, if it's on and I put in my backpack to catch the bus or train, is that ok?

noise from the fan sounds like some thing stuck in the Fan motor, noise is not loud but noticeable.
