Ts0P Temperature Palm rest L sensor makes fan go hi! Where by?

A year after that I bought the computer (MA092LL/A) the fans started go into high speed.

I did not realize in time that it was not normal. The error came and went and it appeared randomly. But has become more and more common. Today, the fans almost always running at full speed

A friend "who has it all" helped me run an Apple Service Diagnostic - test (ASD 3S108). The test showed that Ts0P Temperature Palm res L - sensor was the problem and cause. The failure is comming up randomly.

The thing is that I do not know where Ts0P Temperature Palm residue L is placed or if it is possible to replace it, and where I can buy a new one?

Today I opened my computer. I think the sensor is located together vith Blue tooth antenna on the left side of the hard disk - but it's just only a guess!

I need to know!

AND I need to know if is it replaceable !

I've read online and it seems to be a fairly common problem on this serie of Mac Book Pro - both 15 and 17 inches.

Right Palm res "sensor is very easy to find - but were is the left palm res sensor seated?

(Why can not Apple be more helpful when it comes to information on computers inside?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I thought I found the sensor on Blue tooth card - but is wasn't! After reheat a soldering point that looks bad, the problem come back.

My new theory is that the sensor is placed on top of the mother-card near the corner on the left side to the hard disk.

There are to components that look like a temp sensor there, placed 15 mm apart, and the one most left and back had a bad soldering point that i fixed. After that i cant get my my computer running fan hi at all.

Without fact's you never will be shore. If any knowles that this conclusion is right - please respond with an confirmation!

Enjoy
