" Fan error " ThinkPad X201i ■ Replace CPU Fan 

very helpful tutorial ! I replaced the fan according to this video. Some comments to this tutorial, you dont need to dis-assemble the whole cpu-fan-heatsink assemble from the motherboard, just unscrewed three small screws on the back of the fan and replace a new fan, then you can save to buy cpu heatsink glue.

Escellent video.. have now replaced the fan in my X201.. and now it boots up without any error message.... thanks for recording this video

Listen everyone. I fixed mine just right now without touching anything almost literally. I just Blew the fan window near the usb port (not the one near the power input port, or blow the whole thing sure.) You can actually hear the fan rotates while blowing and it gets faster after a few blow. Turned it on and yeah baby! Works like a charm!!!!!!!

Tks Tks Tks!!! I used the video and finally was able to repair my notebook! Thank you!!! Excelent video.

Thank you very much. It has been very helpful and saved me a lot of time.

i held off from repairing my laptop fan just by blowing on it for 4 years. real talk. the trick is blowing on the fan while booting up

Fuck me. I did this with a can of duster and it worked...... Seriously, thanks a million, I was the ebay page to buy a new fan when I looked at this.

Thanks a lot. What is the glue that you spread on heatsink after replacing the fan?

Thanks from Slovenia.

i want just a faster fan, i mean, i use in notebook made for 25W ,a 35Wtdp cpu and i liquid metaled it but i just need a faster fan in case of keeping temps while rendering or doing more intensive stuff. but how and where to get a faster fan

I changed the fan , didn't have to remove the screen, any way great video

thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! really clear and helpful video and helped me a lot! thanks again..

OMG! You have to dismantle the whole thing!

funny tip...i had the same *fan error* code, and the computer would shut down...very frustrating when you need to get something done! ....to bypass this, when i first started the computer, I would put my mouth around the fan exhaust and blow into it furiously, so I could hear the fan whizzing around and keep doing that as the computer got going, and boom the computer boot and run normally, i think my CPR routine successfully tricked the computer into thinking the fan is working...maybe I'm wrong an it has something to do with me just bumping the computer around when i did this (like loose connection somewhere) but it worked for months and months before i finally replace the fan.......obviously beware of over heating if you try this, I would only run it for short times otherwise it would start getting too hot.

Hi, I replaced the cpu fan, but the "fan error" still appears... what else can i do?

Thank you. Your video helped me alot.

thank you realy good video thank you just what i was looking for.

where did you guys get the part from?

Worked a charm! Thanks!

So you completely disassemble your laptop to replace a fan?

got this done down to trying to get the cpu off the case. I HAVE REMOVED ALL THE SCREWS but the cpu is still not coming up!!!!

Thanks a lot

Well, I tryed to do it, but I'm really afraid. Of course, I'll do some shit with my netbook! Hahahah but anyway, great video!

Did this to replace the fan, now machine doesn't work!!!!!

I have been encountering this fan errors sometimes it does that sometimes it doesn't

7:27 Top shielding assembly and PCI Express mini card disappear.

Yes, it is interesting. I hope i will never have to do it at my x201.

the most ridiculous Lenovo construcion, along with every X series laptop.

The most ridiculous procedure for a fan replacement. Wow

Dude Give Me The Link Of The Fan So I Can Buy It Online :D

Hi all, I need to clear cmos password of x201i, supervisor password is installed and laptop is just useless without it, it cant boot without password.

Now to find a fan that isn't located in china
