IBM ThinkPad T42 Fan Replacement

소개

Use this guide to replace a fan for an IBM ThinkPad (Model T42). If your computer is making excessive noises, sounds louder than usual, or feels hot to the touch, the fan may need to be replaced. The fans' purpose is to pull cooler air into the computer to cool the hot circuitry. A failing fan can cause your laptop to sound louder because it is working harder than it normally needs to. Prior to using this guide, ensure nothing is blocking the fan or is in the way of the flow of the fan. A quick cleaning of debris or built-up dirt with a microfiber cloth may improve the functionality of the fan. If the fan is still dysfunctional, the next step would be to move forward with replacing the fan. Before beginning the process of replacing the fan make sure that your device is fully turned off and disconnected from any external power sources.

How about you just down the freely available Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM) for the laptop. They are downloadable in PDF format, and very well done.

It doesnt take this much, if you remove the palm rest and keyboard you can get it at an angle it slides straight out.
