    I suppose removing the keyboard was easy enough, considering it is Thinkpad after all…

    Well, I did not specifically mention the keyboard part, because that would depend on the model of your computer, and I want my summary to be as generic as possible. In my case, though, the T430 indeed requires the keyboard removal to expose the fan (i.e. the step 3 in my summary). The keyboard was tightly fit on my laptop, thus could not be removed by bare hand wiggling. It took some youtube video searching to learn a trick of using a credit card as a pry to easily pop it out. The real challenge, however, was the removal of the palm rest. My thumb nails still hurt today. 🙂

    All the info above are model-specific, so I did not put them into my summary.
