    My T30 recently will not boot because it says Fan Error. I am assuming I need a new fan. Can I still get a fan and is it an easy thing to install myself?

    Thank you for the link. I was able to get the fan out. I will clean it up reapply the thermal grease and see if that fixes the error before I go about locating a new fan. If I need a new fan, where is the best place to buy one?
