Broken right fan on Macbook Pro 15inch core duo

by ianshaw08

My Problem

Fan was buzzing very loudly, almost unbearably. Had to replace it, according to my computer savvy friends.

My Fix

Got the part earlier than I expected, along with the proper tools. The installation went completely smooth, especially considering that I am not at all computer savvy. The new fan runs whisper quiet and I am exceedingly pleased.

My Advice

Ordering the tools was a good idea. At first I was skeptical but I ended up needing all of them and it's worth it to shell out a few extra bucks. I would definitely use IFixit again.
