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 . . .
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.

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 . . .
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 pla . . .
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 f . . .
