Moderate

My Problem

right fan on MacBookPro went crazy. Unbearable noise.

My Fix

I followed iFixit step-by-step, got the fan out, cleaned & added a drop of WD-40. Was OK for a day, but then noisy again. Ordered replacement - used - from iFixit. Opened MBP up again, swapped the fan - now running again super quiet. Very satisfied with step-by-step and with replacement used part.

My Advice

the clips on the front are the only fussy part. Be careful to NOT lift the top up too far before releasing the flex-cable.
