Laptop Surgery
As some of you know the right fan on my laptop was making one hell of a racket when it revved up to anything over say stationary. So I ordered a fan from http://www.powerbookmedic.com/ two weeks ago and arrived today (which oddly enough is exactly the day that it was pissing me off the most).
Macbook Pro Innards
So heres the wonderful picture of the innards of my MacBook Pro after I had replaced the fan, you can just about see that I tore off some of the black tape that helps to hold the fan in place. The main thing that holds the fan in place is 3 T6 screws which is always awkward but I bought the screwdriver set a while back so it wasn’t a problem (there are also a pair of T6 screws that you need to remove just to take off the top cover). So post op the laptop is now closed up, and the rest is silence.
Note: at the time of writing the fan is quiet, but that might also be because the fan barely needs to spin at all while I’m typing this post. Lets see how it does when I’m at work tomorrow.
This wouldn’t have happened if you had purchased something other than a mac!
