6000RPM Fan - Exhaust fan sensor?
Hi Guys,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with this one..
I was recently given a macbook pro i5 from a friend, who killed it by spilling water on it. So using my background in IT, I took the whole thing apart and thoroughly cleaned it using acetone - and got the computer back up and running. Everything works perfectly, however iStat tells me that the exhaust sensor is not working and this is causing the fan to run at a constant 6000rpm.
I've put new thermal paste in, checked every part of the logic board for corrosion and still cant work out why its doing this. I have also run the machine in bare bones mode (removed the cd drive, RAM, superdrive etc) and the fan still runs at 6000rpm.
I've reset PRAM, SMC and nothing seems to work. Has anyone got any suggestions? I'd really like to get this machine working properly!
Update: Does any one know where the exhaust fan sensor is on a MBP 2011 i5?
Thanks everyone!
Is this a good question?
Please give us the last three figures of your serial number so we know exactly which machine you have. Thanks

Mayer, Its a MBP late 2011. Late three figures are: V13
Does that help you out? Do you know where the sensor is? Thanks!
