What next?PostPosted: Wed Oct 15, 2008 8:44 am Offline Joined: Tue Oct 14, 2008 9:45 pm Posts: 5 Location: Frederick, MD Hello - I have a 4 year old T42. http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/thinkpad-fan-error/ I love the laptop and don't want to give it up yet. I recently replaced the Li-ion battery, and otherwise this thing has been a tank. Just last week, I started to get a "Fan Error" right after boot. At first fan error it was intermittent, and I could reboot and get a successful boot. But now it happens every time I turn the computer on. Sometimes, if the computer has been off for a while, I can get it to boot. If I see the error at boot, the laptop shuts down a few seconds after showing that error. I took the laptop apart and there was no obvious build-up of dust in the fan. I blew it out anyway, then spun the fan with my fan error lenovo fingers and the action seemed smooth and normal. Also, when I boot the computer, I notice the fan is still blowing air and there is noticeable increase in fan noise from when it was new. The fan seems to be working fine except for the error message. What should I do to resolve this? What fan do I need for a 2379 T42? Should I try reseating this current fan with additional thermal grease first, before buying a replacement fan? Thank you for any suggestions! _________________Former UNIX Systems Administrator, enjoying a new creative outlet as a photographer. T42 w/ 2GB RAM and 15" 1400x1050 screen.

The fan is a mechanical part and will not last forever. Yours is defective now. You can try to put some kind of oil (Not thermal grease, not vegetable oil!) You should do the same that i did with my older T40, just go to ebay and buy a new one. Sorry for my bad english.
