[GTALUG] Repair & Replace

[Peter King]

Another cold boot, same problem.

I am still getting a message saying that the CPU fan has failed.  But I 
can see it spinning in the case.  Also, the report from sensors shows 
everything running at perfectly normal temperatures.

Guess the next thing is to try a firmware/BIOS update.  That won't 
happen for a while, since it will take more time than I have for the 
next two weeks, involving as it likely does getting some version of 
Windows running on the Lenovo first.  Drat.
