T61 Fan noise- are you going to do something about this?

Let me say upfront that my warranty has expired 7 months ago. 
Shortly after, I noticed that the fan noise became increasingly noisy.
This is happening to a ThinkPad? I've used a T42  for 2 years (work laptop) before this and I had no issues.
The reason I stayed loyal with this brand because of my hassle free experience with T42 (to think that I've abused that).
What are my options to get to a resolution?
This T61 fan defect is consistent. There are posted solutions in one thread but I couldn't follow it and I would like to see an endorsement by Lenovo tech support that this is safe to follow. Can't you just once and for all support a resolution? 
Having said that I've forfeited benefits of a warranty cover. Is there anything I should specify to an independent repairman?
How much is the expected fees for this? Is this an issue of replacing a new fan? What fan model is available for 
replacement? 

Maybe things will improve this summer,

    I love AI love Apple. I own an iMac, a MacbookPro, an iPad, and an iPhone.  I’ve been a loyal Mac user since the ‘80’s.   But, please, when are you going to do something about iCal and its Reminders component?  Attaching documents is clumsy. If you’re on iCloud, as I am, repeating events is impossible.  The ability to copy text or graphics into either events or Reminders doesn’t really exist.  This is an easy fix.   Why not get it done?

  • When is apple going to do something about this recent flood of spam to .mac

    when is apple going to do something about this recent flood of spam to .mac. i have had .mac for 4 years and in the last few months im getting like 10 junk mails a day. all for worthless investment tips. i came on here to find alot of others getting the same junk mail from the same sender. so it is obviously a target to .mac addresses and not just mine. come on apple, this has been happening for a few months now and is getting worse. are you going to do anyhthing about it on the server side of things? im paying over $100 for .mac and expect a fix. anybody else with this problem please please sound off here. we need a fix for this.

    yes, i agree. over 3 years with 3 .mac addresses and this is the first time i've had any sort of a problem... and it's becoming an onslaught.
    plus, not only is the mac filter not working, my mail 2.0.5 filter is not working. can someone let me know why these are not going into my junk folder? i think i've got it set up correctly as these are ticked:
    enable junk mail filtering
    move it to the junk mailbox (automatic)
    (exempt) sender in my address book
    (exempt) message is addressed using my full name
    trust junk mail headers set by my ISP
    can anyone from mac let us know that you are aware of the current problem and are at least looking into it?
    also, here's another recent thread:

  • When are you going to update LION about the audio bug since 10.6.8 update

    I still lost the audio of my Mac Mini, when I finish to watch a movie via PLex, the only way is to reboot the mac and then start another film...

    Back up your iPad and restore it as new using iTunes. That seems to be the best way to run ios8 on an ipad2. It's still likely to be very slow and laggy but at this point you're committed so you don't really have another option.

  • Why is firefox available to almost every mobile except blackberry, when are you going to sort something out !!!!!

    I have been waiting patiently for Firefox to be made available to blackberry but it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. When will it be made available.
    Cheers

    Android and Maemo are the only platforms that are supported, and Maemo support ends with Firefox 7.

  • Is there a way to play video clips that use adobe flash and if not when are you going to resolve your problem with them ? I won't buy another apple product until you do and I Know I,m not the online.

    Is there a way to play video clips that use adobe flash and if not when are you going to resolve your problem with them ? I won't buy another apple product until you do and I Know I,m not the only one.

    Use the search feature and type in Flash and there are like thousands of posts on this.
    You seem to think you are addressing Apple with your post.  This is a user forum and we are all users just like you.

  • Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??

    Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??
    Message is working weird.
    I don't have internet service when I'm away from my WiFi, because my phone won't use LTE now.
    Should I wait for a IOS 8.3.1 update or reset my phone to factory and start over?
    If there's a fix coming when will we see it?
    (I'm using iPhone6 plus)
    I've tried everything else to fix the problems I'm having. Soft restart. Hard restart. Used your chat line. Called Verizon. Reset network settings.... Help!!!!!
    I've posted on the Apple Communities about all this and I've sent in a couple of bug reports.
    I live up in the mountains and MUST be able to access my Verizon LTE for information if there is a fire! I'm in California!

    I have a Verizon iPhone 6 and am having none of those problems.

    Didn't they already have you do that? If you haven't, yes, you should restore your phone as new and test.

    If you are in a situation where you may need emergency information, organizations such as the Red Cross recommend things like this:

  • Are you going to add Intel 7260 AC WiFi card to X230's BIOS whitelist?

    Are you going to add Intel 7260 AC  WiFi card to X230's BIOS whitelist in the future?
    I'm thinking about upgrading my wifi-card to an Intel AC card.
    Thank you.

    Presently Lenovo Regulatory Notes list consists wifi adapters with AC specification support in the m.2 formfactor only, for the new laptops line on Haswell. Do conclusions yourself.

  • When apple no longer includes an optical drive how are you going to burn an itunes playlist

    when apple no longer includes an optical drive how are you going to burn an itunes playlist

    Well, I don't want to buy an optical drive if I buy a new Mac without one. However, iTunes will not allow "burning" a playlist to anything except a real optical drive.
    Now, I am not running Mountain Lion so I don't know if iTunes for Mountain Lion allows it or not - could someone please let me know if it is possible.
    For me, on Snow Leopard, I cannot find a way to burn, create, duplicate - whatever you want to call it - a playlist to a virtual drive, a USB drive - nothing but a physical drive.
    It just makes me wonder if iTunes provides (will provide) an alternative when there is no physical drive included.

  • So what are you going to do about it?

    What are you going to do about these iPad2 shipping problems, Verizon? Your plastered dates of "3-4 weeks" has passed and we are now in week 5+ with nothing to show for. How is this problem going to be rectified? I'm tired of talking to phone reps that have no information because they can't see store systems, and I'm tired of retail stores that hide the screen and blurt off "it's in the warehouse system, but that's all the information we have right now." **bleep**!? You guys got my money over a month ago. Apple has been back to 2-3 week delivery estimate for at least a week now. I would love an answer. Maybe this board will be more successful than actually talking to you guys in person or over the phone. I would love a response, even if it's through private message or email. I've tried your other routes.

    On yesterday, I was extremely fed up with waiting as I just hit 4 weeks (ordered March 22nd), I told my CSR (in an email) to cancel my stinking order, demanded my money back, called the 800 number three or four times to gripe and complain and I FINALLY GOT SOMEBODY ON THE PHONE that cared enough to actually do something about it!  I'm sure all you have experienced the same thing where the rep on the 800 number is just briefly glancing at the order and then giving the company line.
    I pressed yesterday and told the rep I needed someone that would escalate this and give me answers because there was certainly a Black 32 GB/3G with my name on it and that someone just had to push the right d**m button to match it up with me. Well she placed me on hold for 5 or 6 minutes maybe even longer but it was worth the wait.  She told me that she did not have access to see anything with my order but that she got a floor supervisor because she too was concerned that my wait had been too long (going on 5 weeks on this Tuesday).  The Supervisor did have the magic access and was able to determine that my shipping date is Monday, April 25th and that I'll have it on two days Fedex delivery (April 27th)!!  I felt relieved to hear this and so was the CSR and she told me how excited she was to be able to provide me relevant information!  On Monday, I should finally have a tracking number and hopefully my package will arrive as promised.
    I will gladly return to this forum on Monday evening with an update but I must stress to each of you who were like me languishing on 4 to 5 weeks to make the same call to 877-807-4372 (regional Telesales) number.  Give them your location code and they can tell you which region you ordered from if you ordered by phone.  I live in Texas and my call was handled by the South region for Telesales and their number is 800-256-4646.  Please don't waste your time calling the general Customer Service number (800-922-0204)....you need Telesales and you specifically need your regional team that you ordered from.  Press the CSR to check with a supervisor to gain detail shipping information because it is their beyond the grasp of the CSR!!!

  • How are you going to backup your system?

    Are you going to backup your files to an external hard drive? If so what?
    Are you doing to backup your files to your 2nd internal hard drive? How?

    RAID is not a backup
    Yes… it is. Backup is by definition is "the procedure for making extra copies of data in case the original is lost or damaged". Nothing more.
    With a RAID mirror you have two or more originals which makes it a backup. Does it provide an archive or revision history of your data… no. But that's beside the point. It is a backup. Does it protect you against all circumstances that results in data loss… no. Again, that's beside the point.
    A RAID mirror is still a backup,
    RAID is protection from hardware failure. If a drive dies, you have a full working copy of everything... that's great.
    Not always true! Under some RAID schemes a member failure will result in complete data loss. RAID is not always about "protection from hardware failure".
    Only something that archives… [snip]
    Not everyone is prepared to and sometimes not even capable of having such a rigourous scheme as you do. For the vast majority of users out there who have no contingency plan what so ever the best solution is in fact a RAID mirror as it's a no effort and cheap solution. It's a solution that protects against a very specific circumstance. For a more complete protection you are right, other means should make up the rest of the package.
    While RAID mirrors shouldn't be a standalone solution it should be considered as part of a complete scheme.

  • When are you going to make GOOGLE TOOLBAR compatible with the latest version of firefox, i will not update to version 8 until its compatible

    Question
    When are you going to make GOOGLE TOOLBAR compatible with the latest version of firefox, i will not update to version 8 until its compatible

    It's not going to happen. Google announced withdrawal of their Google Toolbar.
    Using Google Toolbar features without toolbars - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
    :http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Google_Toolbar_features_without_toolbars
    The Google Toolbar will not be updated for Firefox 5 or later Firefox versions. ([http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html reference]) Google finally decided that their [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions problematic extension] is beyond repair for the little benefit added for Firefox users. Google as with other browsers is eliminating or making toolbars less accessible.
    Consider the features that you are using and see if you can match up features from the list created by Google and by Firefox users.
