Fan replacement hell - T60p

#1 Post by unicus » Sun Mar 21, 2021 7:10 am

HI all,

My 14 year old T60p 14 inch screen laptop fan died, I ordered one from China installed it and it makes a loud whining sound. The seller gave me a refund, and I ordered an OEM one. Is it safe to use this in the meantime? I don't want anything to happen to my baby. I was going to post a YouTube video of it, however I can't seem to post a link.

Thanks
Ron

Welcome to the forum!

If the fan is just noisy, but spinning well and actually pushing hot air out of the vents, it may be OK to use. Personally, I prefer not to run machine with a problematic fan.

Good luck.
