When I start my X61 it bleeps then shuts down with "fan fail" message.
Any suggestions?

Re: X61 fan fail
If lubricating the fan doesn't work (I've done it successfully in 2 X61's), you need to replace it.
Daily driver: X220 4291-C91 i7-2620M
Backup: X220 4291-P79 i5-2520M
Toy: X60F Core Solo U1300
In pieces: two retired but working X61Ts
RIP: 760XD 9546-U9E; X61 7676-A24; and a BOE-Hydis HV121P01-100 in failed SXGA+ mod

Re: X61 fan fail
We've tried a replacement fan. Still the same problem.
