T410 fan error: Manic Monday

Got the fan error on my beloved Thinkpad T410 this morning...
Simply refused to boot, a beep and then shutdown.
Opened the lappie up as far as I could -the photo is a piece of crap, but it is fairly evident the amount of crap that the fan had- and unclogged the poor little thing as best as I could.
Everything went A Ok after that, posting this from the T410, for that matter.
Not a nice way to start an effing Monday.
