T60 Fan FRU # Check

The fan on my T60 Thinkpad has begun making ugly gridning noises. I used compressed air from the inside but it did not work, and I think the fan assembly needs to be replaced. I'm still uncertain about the FRU # for the fan assembly I should get and I need help selecting one.

It doesn't matter in your particular case, either of them will work fine.
The latter one was for later machines that ran hotter, and has better cooling properties than the original one.

Thinkpad T60 fan noise

Hello
I own a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 laptop. Lately fan of my laptop started making a whirling sound. Its been only 2 years since i have purchased the laptop and now i am running with this horrible fan noise.
I want to replace the fan with a new one. So i have checked the hardware manual of Lenovo and found out that at some point i have to apply thermal great at a location of fan assembly at the time of installation.
What thermal grease i have to use for this. If i buy the fan assembly at Lenovo, will they send me the thermal grease also.
Also do i need to buy the same fan model as the existing one... If it so, where can i find the fan model in my system..
Your responses are greatly appreciated.....

Hello,
the simpliest method is to use your 3years warranty and send it to depot.
The other way is to do a parts look-up on Lenovo support page, see link on top of this page.
Then your get the FRU number, search for it at Google, also for thermal grease like Arctic Silver.
The fan isn´t very expensive may be 30$ and it´s not difficult to deploy it. But you will loose warranty!!

Andreas

Thinkpad T60 fans making sound

Hello all,
I had this thinkpad t60 for 10 months now, lately I noticed there's an noise coming from the fans located on the left side of the laptop when the systems heat up at 92º F. The noise last about a few seconds during the warming up stage, then its quite like normal, it's repeats a few times during the laptop is ON.
I don't know if anyone has the same problem, I'm thinking of something might get stuck blocking the fans or the oil is dried out.
Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks.
TWS

Yes, calling for support would be the best thing since it's under warranty.

T60 Fan Replacement - Which part is the right one?

How do I know which fan model number to use? I have a 2613-CTO but on the parts info listing, 2613-CTO matches with 4 different model numbers:
41V9931 (integrated)
41W6406 (integrated)
41V9932 (discrete)
41W6407 (discrete)
How do I know which part is the correct one for my laptop?
Any assistance would be much appreciated, thanks!!!

Any "discrete graphics" fan will do just fine, since that's what you have in that T60.
Hope this helps.

George

T60 replacement fan - thermal grease

My T60 fan started whining so IBM sent me a replacement fan and a tube of thermal grease - but the fan already has thermal grease on it.
The grease is actually a 5 x 7 matrix of 35 small dots of thermal grease. Everything I have ever read about applying thermal grease says that it should be applied in a very thin, smooth layer and these thermal grease dots don't seem consistent with that at all.
1. Should I flatten the dots and spread them out thinly? Or does IBM expect us to just install it as is - maybe the pressure applied upon installation is supposed to flatten the grease out appropriately?
2. Should I have some pure alcohol handy to clean off all of the old grease before replacing this fan?
Solved!

eetolaa, welcome to the forum,
the fans come with thermal paste already on them, all you need to do is remove the thin clear plastic from the grey thermal pads. The grey pads are thermal plastic and come attached to the fan.

T60 frankenpad

Hi All
I have come accross some brand new T61 penryn boards made after August 2008.
It therefore seems quite obvious to me that I should convert two of my T60s to more powerful machines. (already traded my T61 for my wifes T60).
I have bought two motherboards and I have to fully working 15" T60s. My question is now of what other parts I will need besides the CPU and Memory which is something I have in stock.
Do I need to purchase a T61 fan? And is it possible to fit the T500 fan in there as I have 2 of those lying around (1xIntel and 1x Intel/ATI)?
Really appreciate your help :-)
Thinkpad T500 - C2D P9500 - 8GB RAM - Intel X4500 - 120 GB Intel 330 SSD,
Thinkpad T61 - C2D T9300 - 4GB RAM - NVS 140M - 120 GB Samsung 840 SSD,
Thinkpad T60 - T2400 - 3GB RAM - GMA950 - 60 GB Samsung 840,
And a lot more....

Besides the board you'll need the CPU, PC card assembly, cpu support bracket and it would be ideal to use T61 wire harness, but you can use the T60 if your reroute it a bit. It's also possible to use the T60 fan, but they aren't as efficient at cooling and on a discrete board you'll want to remove the grey pad from the gpu platform and replace it with thermal paste and assure it's adjusted to fit properly, but it's better to use the T61 fan.
If you need any of these parts you can send me a PM and I'd be glad to help.
ps. You'll also need to modify the frame and in order to use the T61 discrete fan you'll need to modify the retainer bracket. Here are photographs of the mods you need to perform.
Frame mod consists of removing one of the modem mounting "stand offs" (screw holes) and grinding down one so the frame doesn't contact the board on one of the mounting points.
http://home.concepts.nl/~pc125480/t61_mod/IMG_0350_reds.jpg
Don't be tempted to try drilling the motherboard to relocate this mounting hole, it's been tried and will destroy the board.
A small piece of metal needs to be removed from the bracket and the grey pad removed fromt he top of heatsink in order to get the larger T61 heatsink to fit under the T61 keyboard without any bulge. It's a tight fit, but with this mod you can get it all back together without any noticeable keyboard clearance issues.
http://www.e30tuner.com/assist/frankenpad/fpad_hs010.jpg
You'll also need to remove the modem. If you require one for dialup internet or fax you can get a pcmcia card very cheap.

Welcome to the forum!
Your T60 has dedicated ATi GPU and requires a "discrete" fan...any of the ones listed as such in the HMM will do.

What Fan Part No For T60 20077KG?

Hi there,
The fan on my T60 is making a horrendous noise and I think I need to get it replaced before it completely dies on me!
I've had a look through the Lenovo parts page for my model (T60 20077KG) but as far as I can make out, there's 4 different fan part numbers that mine could be! (41V9931, 41W6406, 41V9932, 41W6407). I took my laptop apart in the hope that the fan assembly would have a part number on it, but alas no luck!
Can someone advise me on which fan I need. I've included a photo of the fan in case that helps!

Thanks in advance.
Jon
Moderator edit: 300k image just a little over the 50k limit in the Community Rules! Converted to link.

if the fan is just making a noise, it means that your fan spindle needs to be cleaned and reoiled. You can do this first, before considering a fan replacement.
Just take the fan/heatsink off, then strip apart the fan unit, clean the spindle with some clean cloth or tissues. Then add some wd-40 or sewing machine oil to the spindle, then place it back, this should solve your scratching noise. I do this all the time on my Thinkpads T60.
If this DIY servicing doesn't work then you would need the 41W6407, which you can get from IBM parts for around 60 USD including delivery (maybe slightly more or less in UK).

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Check the following manual for the part number of the fan you require:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-62733.html
But I think 41V9932 is the part number you need based on information here for 2007-b4x:-http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62741#23
You can buy it from eBay:- http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=41V9932&_sacat=See-All-Categories
Hope it helps.

I don't really have enough information to give you a proper answer here, but it looks from your description of that part on amazon.com that it is only the fan (judging by package size). If so, then you'd be reusing your existing heatsink, which is fine as long as you only need the fan. The fan is held in place by aluminum tape and several crimped metal tabs, so you're either going to need to very carefully remove the tape when you remove your old fan, or get some high temperature tape, Kapton (polymide film) tape will work nicely for this. I also see that the fan comes with thermal paste, but I strongly recommend that you order some Arctic Silver #5 thermal paste instead, you can buy it on amazon.com and it works much better then the paste that comes with the fan you're considering purchasing.

Replacement fan for T60 + finding part numbers + refurbished parts

I think I need to replace my fan. It is making this pathetic little quiet, irregular buzzing (almost gurgling) sound now, and hardly any air out compared to how it used to really spin. I downloaded RealTemp to test the temperature and it gets up to 90 quite easily, and will occasionally get as high as 96.
Any chance that this is just caused by dust that needs to be cleaned out? I'm guessing that it needs more than a cleaning--that it needs an actual replacement... unfortunately my warranty just expired...
I tried to find the replacement part, but when I went here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62741 to look for it, I couldn't find my model number 2008-B62 anywhere. When I typed it into lenovo's website, it gave me a description that says, "Original description: Based on 2008-C5U: T2500(2GHz), 1GB RAM, ..." So does that mean my model is identical to the C5x model? Can I trust that? If so then it seems that I should buy the part number 41V9932. Is my reasoning correct? Hate to buy the wrong one and brick my machine or something.
Also I see companies selling used parts on ebay for pretty cheap--compared to $50 for a new one. my guess is these are from laptops with broken screens, etc. If so then it might be safe to buy one of these used parts...right? Or do you think that is a foolish move?
Thanks very much for the help,
Rob

well lot of these parts online are refurbished, so you have no guarantee as to when it will fail on you. They could be from machines like yours, cleaned out and resold as refurb.... 50 dollars for a new fan unit isn't all that much, i think you should just get the new one.

Fan Error Lenovo T500 T510 T400 T410 T60 T61 - rejuvinating the fan

I finally got that dreaded "Fan Error" at boot time on my T500. After some research on this board, this is what I have concluded:
1- hit Escape, and the machine will boot. It can do a lot of stuff without a fan turning. Gaming caused it to overheat. Either the processor would slow down (by being intermittant) or you get the black screen of death.
2- It is relatively easy to follow the Hardware Maintenence Manual and remove the fan and heatsink assembly. Once the assembly is removed, pry open the fan, and remove the blades and clean and lubricate the shaft. My fan restarted, and the Fan Error went away. No need to replace the fan.
3- Unfortunately the machine overheats now (black screen of death), even though the fan does operate. I traced this to a too liberal application of the thermal joint compound. Made the compound a very thin film, and that seems to have helped. Also when replacing heat sink assembly and before bolting it, wiggle it while pressing on it so the thermal joint compound spreads itself at the surfaces of contact. This seems to have helped.
Anything else that you may want to add to this thread?

Thanks a lot! It makes sense.
Yes, I have been using the ESC bypass for some time, untill I really could not stand by anymore--the over heating.
I am thinking about manipulating the fan 'manually', if it could pass the booting, very good; if not, it's not completely unacceptable to run a small program@startup along with the work.
Not ready to say bye yet, will keep trying.
Thanks again!
So if you hit ESC, does your fan work normally, or do you overheat? I had the impression that your fan would work normally if you hit ESC.
My fan was always a problem on the T500 (not on my new W540). It was extremely noisy and was constantly on even at no load times. So I opened the laptop and cut one of the 3 wires on the fan (I am sure it is a power wire), and installed a manual switch. So when the thing overheated, I could manually turn the fan on. This worked for about a week and then something gave up, and the fan stopped working altogether. (don't fix something that is not broken!) I had to take the front cover off, and place a PC fan in the top left corner to cool the radiator. This was not as effective as the original fan, but let me do my job. Then the loose switch on this ersatz fan one day accidentallyshorted the fluoroscent backlight PC board of my display and I lost my display backlight! I had to pry open my display and using two 60W bulbs project light to the back of the LCD so I could read the display! This is when I decided to punt and ordered the W540. The fan is quiet and works when it has to work.

Need fan part number for a t60

Know of two - haqve crack my case and mine looks like the V9931 - although other posts around here recommend the V9932. Here are my specs -
Intel Centrino Duo T 2600 @ 2.16 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM; I purchased this machine from IBM - I believe it was the last model before Lenovo - and their release of a t60. Any help appreciated.
