T61 nVidia 140M fan fru

Hi. The fan on my T61 is beginning to growl on startup; time to replace it... I'm wondering, though, if the 14" widescreen nVidia 140M graphics option requires a specific fan? If so, does anyone know the FRU number for it? Thanks for any help,
Paul

OK, you've been around long enough that I can comfortably say that you are being lazy
. Pop off the keyboard and look at the FRU# on the fan spindle. My time is worth more than yours any day.

Busted!
I guess I was just hoping that someone who's time wasn't quite as expensive would know...
Time to get the screwdriver.

Well, I got the dreaded "Fan Error" this morning... So I pulled the keyboard and couldn't find an FRU
anywhere on the fan unit.
So, to ask my question again: does anyone know if all T61 fans are the same, or does a machine with the nVidia 140M discrete graphics require a specific fan?
Thanks for any help,
Paul

There are (2) fans listed on the parts page for a 14" WS T61 with a discrete GPU -
Toshiba 42W2462
Furukawa 44C0557
The Toshiba fan costs $65.50 direct from Lenovo US. (Plus tax & shipping)

I can't thank you enough, Harryc. All I could find was
this... Your page is much better! Now to try to get one shipped to Solomon Islands.
Thanks again,
Paul

Are those interchangeable?

I'd like to get this part ordered before opening it up.
