How To Identify T30 via IBM Numbers?

#1 Post by kc27 » Sat May 21, 2011 10:30 pm

I would like to get a new fan for my T30 2366-KU1, but even after consulting the Lenovo website, I am not sure which part number fan I need.

There are three different fan models listed on the Lenovo site, but none of the T30 model numbers match up with my T30. The Lenovo page is at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... .html#no23

Below are the three different fan part numbers specified for the T30. How do I determine which fan goes into a T30 #2366-KU1? I do not see "KU1" referred to anywhere in the three fan specifications. The fan currently in the laptop has "203" stamped on the top, and 33192 printed on the back.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Fan 1, Part #46P3132
2366-56x, 57x, 5Ax, 5Bx, 66x, 67x, 68x, 86x, 87x, 88x, 89x,8Ax, 8Gx, 96x, 97x, 9Ax, 9Bx, C6x, E7x, K7x, M1x, M2x, M3x, M4x, M5x, N6x, R6x, P6x
2366-J4x, B2x, N7x, R7x
2367-66x, 68x, 86x, 87x, 88x, 89x

Fan 2, Part #46P3132
2366-56x, 57x, 5Ax, 5Bx, 66x, 67x, 68x, 86x, 87x, 88x, 89x,8Ax, 8Gx, 96x, 97x, 9Ax, 9Bx, C6x, E7x, K7x, M1x, M2x, M3x, M4x, M5x, N6x, R6x, P6x

EDIT - I found the answer to my question. The Lenovo link in my original post has a field at the top right of the page to enter a product number, such as 2366-KU1. That returned this information,

Product: ThinkPad T30 2366-KU1 [change]
Operating system: All [change]

Original description: Based 2366-88U: P4-M 2.0GHz, 256MB RAM, 40.0GB HDD, 14.1 XGA(1024x768) TFT LCD, 8x8x24x/8x CDRW/DVD, Modem(CDC), Ethernet(LOM), Li-Ion battery, WinXP Pro

The "88U" portion of the above results matched up with the T30 models listed for Fan 2.

Just passing this along in case someone else finds it useful.
