I was wondering if it's possible to replace a worn out a1150 fan with a a1226 one. I Think the connector may be different, but is it possible to resolder the wires in order to make it work?
Is this a good question?

If your fan is just being noisy it is usually because the bearing has gone dry. You can remove it from the mounting bracket. On the top is a piece of paper in the center of it. Peel the paper back it will expose a hole in the center of the fan blade. Put a drop or 2 of 3-n-1 oil or some graphite powder in the hole. That should resolve the problem.

I've already done that because the fan was unable to spin. It was a year ago, when I bought this macbook used.

Unfortunately, the connectors are different and they are not cross-compatible.
It may be possible to put the A1150 connector on the A1226 fan, but you would have to do some research and check the voltages on each fan. I don't recommend changing the connectors as you may end up shorting out your logic board.
You can find replacement A1150 fans here.
