Hello,

when my T60 boots, I receive "fan error". It is making a lot of noise for months so this error doesn't surprise me.

My question is simple: will a new fan (likely) solve this problem?

Thanks

I read somewhere that by pressing "F1" and "ESC" the error disappears.
This is true, I can use my T60 again.
But I assume that the problem didn't disappear? How can I make the error appear again, so I can know when it is solved?

And does someone know a good place to order new Thinkpad fans, in Europe?

Thanks

Stop pressing "F1" and "ESC"

. It will eventually reappear.

It doesn't appear anymore, after I have pressed F1 and ESC once.
This is a bit strange

I don't know if the error is solved or just "bypassed"?

Neither, what I am saying is that it will come back eventually. You need a new fan.

Thanks for your advice. I will buy a new one. Ebay has new fans of around 40 $
