Yes, fan is gone case. Unfortunally the fan is make together with heatsink. So you have to replace the whole assembly.

Bro you gt pm...

battery is there to be used.

I understand, but I just want the battery's lifespan to be longer as i can't afford to keep changing the battery

 

[sWirL84]

wonder what are the prices for the 4-cell batt for X220.. hmm

Bro you gt pm...

If you are curious, this is how your fan/heatsink looks like:

HUGE one.

There is only so much that you can do for the battery lifespan. It can fail at anytime... 1 day, 1 mth, 1 year or 3 yrs. There is nothing that you can do. I believe that you have taken every precaution but if it goes belly up, what are you going to do? Get a new one.

Yup that is the one that I have. Because I took apart my t61 and tried to blow some sense into the fan

 

[Azrielsc]

Just bring it to the shops and show the person and he/she will get you an exact replacement. That's what I did.

You guys make me very tempted to get the W520/i7 2720Qm/8GB/Nvidia 1000M/FHD from USA, but at almost SGD$3k.

Picture the same as mine. You better confirm the model number again.

Yup, there is a slight difference between the T61 and the T61p fan, i believe.

Drop by Sim Lim, hunt down for either 500GB or 750GB disks. Should cost around $100 or less depending on brand, capacity and speed.

After that, just mount the disk in and load Windows 7. Quite easy to DIY for the harddisk replacement.

@ Gloom - Some bros here have purchased from me before (will the bros please stand up?). If you need a quote, let me know and I will give you a special HWZ price. But honestly, if you want the best price then you can try buying it via comgateway.

@ Samloi - If you can live with an external HDD and dont work on large files, you should really try getting a SSD. It really helps with the performance.

I heard from a customer that the T420s is not available locally at the SLS/Funan shops. Is this true?

I saw the T420s @ SLS / Funan. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.

That's why i was wondering....cannot be lah...perhaps the customer wasnt very thorough in checking out the shops.

 

[trupurple]

I have tons of these... if you're interested. But like the bro said, must cfm the #. Mine's running on win7 64bit, smooth.

 

[rhizopus]
