My Problem
For nearly a year, the fan in my MacBook Pro Late 2011 has sounded like a dying cow. It wasn't always constant, but then it got to the point where it wouldn't stop for any reason. After removing the fan and carefully cleaning it, it only appeared to get worse.
My Fix
The repair was dolphin smooth. There were only a few screws involved and, for a novice like myself, this was a breeze. I can't believe I waited so long to fix something so simple.
My Advice
Don't be intimidated if you've never done this before. Changing the fan out involved three screws and a connector. Just go slow and be sure to keep your screws organized (I laid mine out on a piece of paper in the pattern of the parts). Honestly, doing this gave me a bit more confidence in fixing my own minor electronic issues rather than spend hundreds for someone else to do it.
