Thinkpads Forum

Hello,

Last time my X60s is working quite loud. Because of that I'd like to disassembly it and replace its ventilator. A whole cooling module (ventilator+radiator) is quite expensive here (something aroud 75 euros). So the question is where separately can I buy ventilator (as cheap as possible) dedicated to X60s, and it's possible to change it _without_ replacing whole cooling module (radiator)? I'm also going to change paste between radiator and CPU to Arctic Silver or something better- which brand do you suggest at this point?
Anyway it's possible to buy a new set of screws for X60s? Can't find it anywhere.. (would it be ok calling Lenovo/IBM service for this kind of question? )

Best regards,
Tomek

The link in my signature has information about most / all service parts. Find the part number or fru number and start searching google and ebay..those are your main options.

Another option would be to buy a broken laptop and take parts from it.

yes, i can buy it from here without a problem. thanks a bunch for these links.

by the way i'd like to ask about sxga+. i'd like to buy a hv121p01-100 and make it fit into my x60s (or x61s, a matter of time for board upgrade). do you know any trusted, tested seller? i'd like to be sure in 100% before i order this lcd from china/korea/uk or whatever else. what about that: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/29978 ... panel.html ?
