Moderate

My Problem

Had one or both of the fans in my mid-2009 MacBook Pro start to rattle.

My Fix

Ordered the left and right replacement fans from iFixit and replaced them. Simple and now my MacBook is cooling quietly again.

My Advice

There are some reports on the Net about fixing the rattling noise by disassembling the fans, etc. Don't waste your time. Just get new replacement fans and drop them into place. Only do this if you are comfortable with computer repairs through. Get help otherwise.
