Repair MacBook Pro cooling fan rattling
Authored by: MMeldrum on Feb 15, '11 03:27:02PM

I feel I kinda need to justify why I got Apple to do the repair for me.

I did the repair myself with the original iFixit fan, but it was still noisy..?! :( Rather than go through the whole expensive and time consuming process of getting a replacement fan re-shipped (yet more import duties) I returned the iFixit fan and went to the Apple store instead.

Opening up my MBP and cleaning it out was definitely an interesting/worthwhile experience - my heatsinks were equally clogged up! It just seemed silly for me to persevere when Apple were offering to do it so cheaply. Out of warranty too! The Genius guy must've been having a good day. :)
