Noisy fan in my T30

#1 Post by Ivo37 » Mon Jun 11, 2007 1:21 pm

I have bought my T30 -2366 JBG a month ago and it seems its fan is too noisy - in my opinion - when activated. Does it normal or not? It is an "whimper" nois.

Thanks for advice.

Guess it needs oiling, a search in the forums would come to the answer

welcome to the planetwide thinkpad community.. :)

i did not think those fans could be oiled..

a better description of the noise would be helpful..
or even a recording of the noise, attached as a file..?

Bill, I've done the oiling thing on my T30 heatsink fan and it worked.

I did the same thing with my t30 and it works. After that fan as quiet as in new system, maybe even more.

I have done a recording my fan noise but I do not know how to attach this wav file here. I am decided to grease this fan. But how to despatch its cover? And where drop an oil?. Thanks for all advise. Ivo

You can download the manual from ibm site

there's an disassembling instruction, with pictures.
Where to oil - you'll understand, it's easy.
