I need help identifying hte correct FRU for replacing the fan in a T60 Type 2008-N22. The support site (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-62741#rohs) lists 4 different fans: 41V9931, 41W6406,41V9932, and 41W6407, and does not explain the difference between integrated and dsicrete.
I appreciat any heklp that can be provided.

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.

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.

T60 2008-HK4 upgrade to Win7 from XP

This T60 2008-HK4 has the T5600 Intel Core Duo and ATI Mobility Radeon X1300. I have the Win7 Pro upgrade retail pack which says this upgrade has to be done as a clean install. I've visited the Lenovo site and picked up as many drivers as were available but I don't see higher than a Vista one from 2007. Similar story with the Ethernet driver.
Has anyone done this upgrade with this configuration? Did you encounter any pitfalls related to these missing drivers or did the old Vista ones work OK?
I haven't made up my mind yet whether to go to 64-bit. I do have 4 GB RAM aboard. One counter-argument is my need to use Adobe Framemaker, which has a bad rap trying to work on 64-bit. Other than software limitations, are there other pitfalls with 64-bit on this hardware?

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.

System lockup w/loud fans on MacPro 2008

I have an 8 core 2008 Mac Pro. Since about a month after the warranty ended (naturally) the machine occasionally locks up, the fans go into overdrive, and the monitors go into standby mode. The only thing I can do is power down the machine by holding down the power button. When I restart the machine (after waiting a minute or so) all I get is some normal fan activity and a power light. I've tried resetting the SMU numerous times to no avail. What does seem to work is opening up the machine, pulling out the memory riser cards, and (with the machine on its side) putting them back in quite firmly. This often, but not always, solves the problem for awhile. But it always comes back. When the machine works, it works flawlessly until the problem occurs. It has plenty of ventilation, the inside of the machine is clean, and the room temperature is set at 78.
So my question is, is this more likely to be an issue with the memory riser cards, the logic board, or is it maybe something else entirely? I would assume the riser card is a cheaper fix than the logic board, but I wouldn't want to pay for one needlessly. Any help appreciated.

Too bad you didn't spend the under $300 on AppleCare to extend the warranty to 3 yrs.
Resetting the SMC by unplugging power and all cables for a couple minutes is more of, sometimes it does reset the SMC, sometimes it takes longer.
What you DO have at this point is corrupt directory and files from hard forced power off. So at this point you need your backup(s), system image, 3rd party disk maintenance (Disk Warrior, TTPro, DG2) and maybe time for a fresh install on another drive to sort things out.
Then make a backup image and keep it safe.
Next, try to troubleshoot and address the WHY part: software, hardware, devices, errant process or even driver. Even power and such.
May seem obvious but running Apple Hardware Test would be step #1, and seeing if you can put it back under warranty or have someone with better testing equipment do a bench evaluation - some places charge $75.

T60 Motherboard replacement. Can anyone tell me which one do i need?

Hi everyone, i have a probem where my T60 will not work of the battery, i have purchased a new one but still the same, if i try ti power it on using batterythen battery led and charging led flashes very quickly and i can not turn it off, i have to take the battery out. My T60 however works just fine on AC and does charge the battery, after reading a lot on forums i have came to conlusion that my motherboard is faulty. Can any help me to find out which one do i need as i saw there are quite a few options to choose from.
my T60 is type 2008-CTO and product ID 2008VKF with ATI radeon x1400 with 128mb dedicated graphics
Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the Forum!
These are the original specs. your T60 left the factory with:
ThinkPad T60 (2008-VKF)
Based on 2008-CTO: T2400(1.83GHz), 1GB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HD, 14.1in 1400x1050 LCD, 128MB ATI Radeon X1400, CDRW/DVD, Intel 802.11abg wireless, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 6c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro
You have a T60 14.1" standard screen. Check System service parts - ThinkPad T60, T60p standard screen. Any board listed there will work. (14.1" and 15.0" boards are interchangeable). Use the system board FRU's to assist you in your search. If FRU is not mentioned in the listing then just make sure the board was removed from a 14.1" or 15.0" standard T60 or T60p. Be sure not to purchase one said to have been removed from a 15.4" widescreen model. You can also try to find an entire 14.1" base, which will make for a much easier swap.
As for graphics, you can choose between Intel 950, ATI x1400 (which you currently have), ATI x1300, or the more powerful ATI FireGL V5200 employed mostly on the T60p models. The boards with more powerful graphics will be more costly.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

T60 Laptop Doesn't Display On-Screen Volume After Hotkey Features Integration Update

I have a ThinkPad T60 (2008-HC6) laptop running Windows 8 Pro (32-bit). Today (1-24-2013), I installed the "Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 8" update that was released on January 18, 2013. After reboot, the on-screen indicator that pops up when I change the volume on my laptop by pressing the volume up, volume down, or mute keys doesn't show up. The keys work fine, but the indicator doesn't display.
I've already tried looking for a solution online. One common solution, installing Lenovo Energy Management, didn't solve my problem. No other software was changed on my laptop between when the power indicator last worked and when I installed the Hotkeys update.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I figured out the problem was with the "On Screen Display" portion of the update. This particular update has two parts to it. First, it adds the "Lenovo Patch Utility" program. Second, it updates the "On Screen Display" program, assuming that an older version was already on the computer being updated. Adding the "Lenovo Patch Utility" didn't cause any harm, but updating the "On Screen Display" prevents the on-screen volume indicator from displaying.
Ultimately, what I ended up doing was removing the "On Screen Display" with the same utility that I used to update it. Then I downloaded the next newest version of the utility and installed that utility's version of the "On Screen Display" program.
My on-screen volume indicator is now back and running fine.

What am I missing? (overheating, fans, tpfancontrol)

Situation:
I have three T60 laptops. I will henceforth refer to these at T60-A, T60-B, and T60-C
T60-A is a 14" version, and is working fine.
T60-B is a 15" version who's hard drive died. I'm trying to install a new hard drive. This computer works fine with the hard drive from T-60-A, but overheats and shuts down. This is the one I want to fix. This is the one I'll mostly focus on.
T60-C is a parts computer with suspected bad motherboard. It is also a 15" model and has been taken apart as of yesterday, fan extracted.
T60-B overheating symptoms:
She runs warm (by feel directly under the fan on battery (from T60-A) power. She runs HOT with power supply (also from T60-A) plugged in, and shuts down after a time. No fancy graphics programs running. Just Google Chrome.
I can hear the fan running, and feel hot exhaust coming out. In looking at the intake and exhaust, I seen no visible dirt/dust/spilled drinks that would block the ports. My initial plan was to replace fan with that from T60-C, but at this point, I'm not sure that's the problem, and might do more harm than good. I'm not adverse to performing this opweration though. Fan is loud, but not the sort of 'fan going bad' loud. It's seemingly just working really hard.
Any suggestions on starting points?
TPFancontrol problems:
I figured this would be a helpful diagnostic tool.
I downloaded the program, extracted the files (using T60-A again, being the only reliable computer). But I can't for the life of me figure out how to install the program. I found the .exe, but get error. winio.sys is missing in app folder or failed to load.
Any thoughts or recommendations on a different download that might work?
Sorry if these are the most basic of questions. I did search here and forums.thinkpads, and I'm still stuck.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi.
What are the 7-digit type/model numbers from the back of each laptop? This will aid further discussion and the referencing of part numbers.
If the fan in "T60-B" is making any abnormal noise it means it may not be giving optimal performance. It could probably still use a fresh cleaning and lubrication even if you don't see any obvious buildup of dust or particles. In addition, the thermal paste (a.k.a. thermal compound) between the heatsink and CPU may need to be refreshed. The thermal compound aids in heat dissipation. Use a good quality product such as Arctic Silver 5, which always works great for me.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

T60 -- Bad Wireless connection. Help please!

Hi Guys, my T60 has unstable wireless connection problem. I make sure the radio is "ON". It gets connected to the DSL network but it gets disconnected on and off ( the radio turns off by itself sometimes). Something wrong with my Intel PRO Wireless driver 3945abg? Can anyone guide me how to fix the problem??
Thank you!!

Hi there,
I'm having the exact same problem - installed the OS (Windows XP Pro) adding SP3 and updating all drivers.
Then I connect to the wireless whitout any problems. I go to sleep, and next day wireless don't work!
The Machine is a T60 2008-WGV. I have made a image of the clean disk with Clonezilla, and therefore I can restore the OS quickly to a working wireless, but I find it quite anoing to have a clean OS every morning, in order to use network.
anyone please?

Rescue & Recovery blue screen on T60 with XP and SSD

Hi everyone.
On my T60 (2008-VPT) with Windows XP SP3, I installed an SSD (Verbatim 240 GB). I've done a clone of the old HD on the new SSD and than I installed it on the T60.
All is fine, but when I try to do a backup with Rescue & Recovery 4.23, after 1 hour BLUE SCREEN appair.
With the paging file the message was KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR, I set No paging file, but another time blue screen, without precedente message but only with code error 0x000000F4 (0x00000003, 0x898E9DA0, 0x898E9F14, 0x805D22AA).

X61 tablet with noisy fan

hello,
feeling frustrated now that the fan decided to make a loud buzzing noise just after my warranty expired!!!
The laptop just reached 2yrs 1month old.
I rarely use it until a few months ago and this happens.
I tried unscrewing the keboard and blowing at the fan hoping to clear dust which did not work....
What action should I take?

You can get it serviced or you can replace the fan.
Here is the "Hardware Maintenance Manual', you should be able to find the part number associated with your fan ("FRU") and purchase a replacement fairly easy. The cheapest place for the part will probably be eBay, there are some sellers that ship from Malaysia.
Currently own: X220T, X201, X200, T61 X2, X61T X3

Installing Rescue & Recovery on a dual-boot T60

Should I be surprised that the installation of Rescue and Recovery 4.5 fails on a dual-boot T60? It has had a recent upgrade from WinXP to Win 7 32-bit and I have since deleted the old SERVICEV0001 partition. Linux Mint 11 is on another partition and grub is launched in the C: partition. The error I get when the installer has unpacked the kit and starts to run the .msi is: "Error 25014.There was an error installing the Rescue and Recovery boot manager. Return code: 6."
I did have to do a repair job on grub as a result of deleting that service partition. Unbeknown to me, grub had been previously running on there.
The BIOS version is 2.23 from Sept 2008. I see that a v.2.34 is available. Could this be what is throwing this installation? Are there any known pitfalls with this BIOS update?
I do have a second hard-drive in the Ultrabay and I note that, since the OS upgrade, that drive is stealing the drive0 (sda) slot and forcing the boot drive to be drive1 (sdb). This doesn't bother grub; but does the R & R installer perhaps want the Ultrabay empty?

Hi prudhvi,
No, dual boot will not be the key points here.
"WE COULD NOT UPDATE THE SYSTEM RESERVED PARTITION" This error poped up might be caused by the low space on your system reserved partition, you may take a look at the partition usage through Disk management.
Further, in addition to upgrade your Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, you may also consider to install Windows 10 on another clean partition, which will make your system triple-boot. Or consider to take use of Hyper-V.
If you have spaces available.

IOS 8.1 issues on iPhone 4S - open letter

Dear Apple,
Thank you very much for an extraordinary Apple experience during my last almost 5 years.
I’m an Apple fan, starting with 2008 when I’ve entered Apple iPhone family with my first 2G terminal.
Today, I do own and currently use Apple products in my day-by-day activity as well at home.
Your development, since my first iPhone device (first generation iPhone -2G), represents for me an astonishing journey through everything your company has offered in line of devices and software. Today in my family are been used by me nad my family an iPhone 4s, an iPhone 5s, an nano-iPod, an iPad 2 generation, and a MacBook, devices which are extremely reliable and current updated to the last software version Apple had issued for each as applicable.
My bitterness comes from an unwanted experience I have encountered with my 4S on iOS 8.1. I am profound unhappy of the actual disruptions in usage on the basis of un-adaptation and non-fluent operation of my 4S. iOS 8.1 was presented and it should be the step-forward for such devices but, instead, it is only a great “pain”. Apps are closing unattended, the fluency of the operation is so lagged, and functionality has a lot to suffer in this line.
I've made the transition to iOS 8.1 as recommended by professionals and after taking into view and applying all what your engineers and specialists have recommended. Thoroughly I respected letter-by-letter the given indications referring update. And later, after not being satisfied with the newly issues development, I restored three times my device in regard of obtaining that new-breath which was presented during Keynotes and your support service. Still, without any success.
Therefore I had visited Apple local service for a full diagnostics upon my iPhone. Their test came all OK, but without any improvement in general usage on iOS 8.1. Same problems and operation issues are present. I do mention that before, using iOS 7.1.2 none of these above-mentioned issues were appearing.
I’m sorry but I cannot take the step-forward to buy a new 5S nor a newer 6 in order to get rid of these “creepy” problems, due the cost of such terminals on local market in Romania, costs that I cannot afford for few next months. So, hereby I’m kindly asking you to help me, and all of other unsatisfied users of such iPhone 4S terminals, to be able to restore our devices to an early iOS 7.1.2. Or else, to solve somehow, as fast as possible, in a later iOS 8.1.x version of all those impediments we’re hitting ourselves these days after update.
It is extremely hard and frustrating not to be able to use at a designated and well-defined high-level scale of a fully functional device, because operating system or programming-issues, or because the hardware cannot fully comply with the actual needs of a new developed operating system. OS designed for to be used with anything starting with 4S and above, too. I’m writing this letter for to point out to your attention that this is really happening and, due to my humble opinion, all this particularities does not concur to the gained positive image and professionalism which Apple has built and demonstrated in all the past years.
Thanking in advance for your kind support in this matter, I’m looking forward for your kind answer.
Kind regards,
Kikishor - still wanting to be a proud user of Apple products

Use Product Recovery Disc on different Thinkpad for virus recovery?

Hi,
Three days of struggling to clean an infected Thinkpad so I am ready for drastic action.
Wife's T60 2007-43U rendered useless by ramnit virus. Long story, but reformat seems like only solution.
Have T60 2008-SAA with as-built installation, and expect I can make Product Recovery discs for that machine.
Also have T60P 2007-8JU working fine, but with no recovery partition or great Thinkpad utilities,Sonic or WinDVD as reformat by previous owner deleted them. All three computers have XP Pro with SP-3.
Questions:
1. Can self-made Product Recovery Disc from one Thinkpad be used to reinstall factory load on these others?
2. If so, should doing that completely clean the disk of existing virus and leave it in "new" condition?
3. Understand 6 CD's make up the factory set of Recovery Discs. The as built load is about 10GB! Is there a list somewhere of what all is included in the Recovery? Before I start making these discs, should I expect a total of 6, more, or fewer?
Thanks!

Returning to give you feedback on the success of this recovery. The T60 went from being a doorstop to fully functional!
Thanks again to ajkula and TuuS for their suggestions. Helped me through a harrowing experience.
I made a full set of Product Recovery Discs, 6 cd's, but did not use them as it would have restored I assume to Windows XP or XP SP2 as originally shipped. The source computer had been upgraded to XP SP3 and was up to date on all Windows Patches. I decided to give it a try with Rescue and Recovery to take advantage of those upgrades. I made a full set of R & R discs and with nothing on the computer other than the original load and Firefox, it took 10 cd's.
On the target computer, the one with the virus damage, I set the bios to start from the CD drive, then, as ajkula suggested, and many other anti-virus sources endorsed, I wiped the disk, and I used dBan for that. Worked well in "short DoD mode" and took about 3 hours on a 60 gb drive. I had never tried that before.
I loaded the R & R start-up disc and from there on all I had to do was insert the next disc when instructed. This took several hours because I was not always paying attention when it called for the next disc. The only confusion was after the start-up disc ran and formated the drive, on the next disc, it warned that it was going to format the drive. I don't know if it did it twice or if the message is just poor communication. It went through to the end, and the result is the previously virus ridden computer is now 'identical" to the source. The hardware is similar but not totally identical . As TuuS suggested, the drivers must have been there as I did not have to add any drivers during this operation or since.
Regards to all,
MtnEar

Replacing CDRW/DVD with DVD Multi

Procrastinator here. T60 2008-SAA with origninal CDRW DVD Ultrabay Burner installed.
Long time back, bought new DVD Multi III Ultrabay burner, never installed. This is my wife's prime computer for browsing and email, viewing photos, very little else, but it could use the Multi for the photos long term. About to install Windows 7 for continued use indefinitely.
Drive comes with Thinkpad install CD with now dated software, (Multimedia Center 9.05 and such as WinDVD 5.0.11). It is probably Vista based since produced in 2008. I guess all the necessary drivers for install are on there as well.
QUESTION: Should I risk installing this with the CD after the upgrade to Win 7? If not, would the necessary drivers be on TVSU ? I have not been able to track down anything for Win 7 except for a special instance of particular installs on specific computers, not the T60 unfortuantely. It seems like it should be eligible as the cost of buying this as an accessory included the install software with the special third party programs, like the WinDVD.
Thanks for any help you could offer on this.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
Generally speaking, any software that works under Microsoft Windows Vista is going to work fine under Microsoft Windows 7 as well. The few kinds of programs that do not are ones that make use of filter drivers, such as anti-malware software, some kinds of encryption software, tape backup software and other programs which directly access to hardware. In those cases, you do have to install the correct version of the program that works with that version of the operating system.
As far as DVD software goes, though, I don't think you will have any problems. I am not sure, though, if ThinkVantage System Update will see the updates for them (or if there are any, for that matter). If it does not, you will need to search Lenovo's support web site for the updates.
If you are concerned, you can always do a backup before installing the software onto the computer.
