1180 VGA thermal device/fan and thermal putty
Note: In ThinkPad W701 and W701ds, thermal putty is used between the thermal
device/fan and the video card. The thermal putty is included in the video card
FRU, but is not included in the thermal device/fan FRU. If once you remove the
thermal device/fan, you need to attach new thermal putty on the video card before
you reinstall the thermal device/fan. Order the thermal putty FRU when you
service the thermal device/fan. ThinkPad W700 and W700ds do not have this
thermal putty.
For access, remove these FRUs in order:
