IBM parts suggestions?

[Leam Hall]

I have an aging IBM thinkpad T30, type 2366-21U. Keep getting "fan 
errors" and it's starting to sound like a prop plane even after I blow 
out the dust. Any recommendations on places to get parts?

Thanks!

eBay is a great place to get ThinkPad parts, as is the ThinkPads Forum
at forum.thinkpads.com. The ThinkPad Mailing List is worth Googling
too.

I don't know in what country you are located but IBM has a good parts
service in many countries, where you can directly order the part
(given that you now it unique FRE number), in my experience usually
even cheaper then shops etc. sell it for.

Does IBM still sell ThinkPad parts?
I thought Levovo had all of that now.

IBM parts also sells Lenovo parts, AFAICS.

Besides that, the original poster said he had an IBM ThinkPad.
