I'm in troble with the fan of my old t61 .
the problems started with a lot of noise that i tried to solve cleaning the original one an lubricating it. It seems to solve the problems but after a month the problems come back also with a random "fan error + two beeps" on turning on the pc.
I installed then a chinese compatible fan but now, every time, i switch on it gives "fan error+ two beeps". I wait that the pc shout down and then at the second attempt it starts without issue....every time.
Somebody has a suggestion? Thanks.

Re: T61 fan error
You can bypass the error when it appears on the screen by pressing esc. The system will boot normally from there.

Re: T61 fan error
You still need to clean it out again. Make sure it's really clean then add a drop of Synthetic ATF (DEXRON VI) to the fan tip and bearing.
