Repair Stories
The left fan started making noise constantly.
The repair went pretty smoothly. One of the metal tabs on the case broke off so that case screw couldn't go back in and another case screw just wouldn't go back without stripping. Also, took several tries to get the top back on the case. The tabs just didn't want to go in. Pretty happy with the way it went. Took a while but it was worth it.
Don't really have any advice other than patience. Lots of patience.

The computer was overheating and began making a noise.
The repair went excellently. To be honest this wasn't the first time I had had to perform surgery on this Macbook. A few years ago I had replaced the hard drive so I was already familiar with disassembling the computer and had the correct tools.
The only thing that I had any problem with was disconnecting and reconnecting the photo sensor. I wasn't real familiar with the type of connector and the thing is almost microscopic so it's hard to see how it worked. Once I understood how the connector worked I had no problem.

The fan died.
Excellent! The photo tutorial walked me thru the process and I had no issues.
Keep doing what you're doing, I'll be back when I have to make my next repair.
the fan began to make so much noise, i installed the software smcfan to saw whats was going on and i realized the left fan was dead 0 rpm
perfect, i printed the guide and step by step i changed the fan, so easy
Only be carefull by pulling the plugs, better use the Spudger if you can.
When remove the dead fan, clean the grille you will see before installing the new one

The fan in my Macbook pro was creating a lot of noise. I needed to replace it.
It went well. It was a little scary but I was successful.
Step 12 of the instructions was not as specific as I would have liked. I ultimately figured out how to do it but I was worried that I might be causing harm to my system.
MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150 Left Fan Replacement
Step 12 states "Use a spudger to flip up the brown plastic flap securing the left ambient light sensor cable to the logic board." I had no idea what a spudger was and "brown plastic flap" is not very specific and the item is so small, it was hard to see how it might mechanically work. It would be great if you could provide a close up picture of this component.

I replace my optical drive with a SSD.
The installation was easy, no problem.
But when I install the OS on the SSD and boot from it, I can no longer enter sleep mode. I've tried to google the problem but have found nothing about that kind of behaviour. Anyone got a suggestion?
Nope, installation was easy and the guide was good.

A customer left a Macbook Pro with a faulty left fan. I went to ifixit.com for ordering not for being the cheapest on the market but for ideological reasons. Help the ones helping me!
Did work great then checking the super guide at ifixit.com
Take it easy with Apple brand parts.
My right fan was dead, never showed as running when I checked istat pro. Led to my mac running hotter than it should. Figured I would replace both since I already had to open it for the one.
The only complaint was UPS delivered my fans a day late when I paid for next day air. The only difficult part was the small cable going across (and attached to) the left fan. (I forget the step #) Guide was thorough and VERY helpful.
Kapton tape! The electrical tape covering the fans and vent ports were very sticky and did not want to attach to the new fans. I covered the old tape with Kapton. Also, the steps that require you to remove cables taped down the mother board need to be replaced as well.

My old fellow (A MBP 2006) started to be noisy. The left fan was making a sound like a blender at top speed.
The guide was incredibly helpful, the problems start when I tried to open the upper case, I broke some parts of it (Where you put the screws). Then I realized that some tapes where put on places not showed on the pics from Ifixit. and the cable from the sensor light was almost welded to the fan.
But the guide was the key, It showed me how to properly arrange the cables and tapes in the case and the replacement was fast.
Have a printed guide with you and be prepared to get some different arranged cables and tapes.

Damaged and noisy fan.
It took about 45 minutes. The guide was very helpful. It was kind of hard taking the keyboard on and off, but I am pretty dumb when it comes to computers. I damaged a piece putting the keyboard back on, but it doesn't affect the performance of my computer. After replacing the fan, it works perfectly now. My keyboard cover is just a little loose in areas.
Be careful taking the keyboard on and off. Keep your screws organized.
