[TriLUG] OT: WTB: fan for a ThinkPad T43

[James Jones]

Cristobal:

Sometime ago, some gave me a dell laptop because a repair location had
told him the fan was defective. Turns out the fan is controlled by
software that needed a patch. Hope that is not the case with you. The
laptop fan runs fine to this day.
