[Thinkpad] fan error

[richard]

The fan on my x61s has been noisy, so I opened the machine and blew on 
the fan.  When I reassembled and tried to boot, I got a grinding noise 
from the fan and it stopped with the message "fan error."  After a few 
tries, I hit escape on the error message and it booted.  Trying again, 
it booted normally.

How best to proceed?  Might this be a transitory problem?
