ThinkPad T60 fan

Started making a very loud noise.


So I bought a new fan on Amazon for $15.86 including shipping.
(Screwdrivers not included.  :))


This video was most helpful in changing the fan.


Be sure to watch the whole video first, or you may break the modem like me.  :(




Here's what a T60 looks like inside.


Swap the fan with the brand new one.


The whole process took less than 1 hour from bringing down the laptop to bringing it back up again.



Hear how quiet it is now.


This should last a couple more years.  :)



Could be just me, but I think my laptop's become faster than before, too.
