MacBook Pro fan noise

[DanDaMan2794]

nice drop

[lexicondevilfilms]

Mine does the exact same thingg, bought a new fan, hopefully replacing it will work

[skookie5]

I could barely hear this over the noise of my fan!

[BboySoull]

@skookie5 uhh, maybe u should try headphones.

[ndrcntrl]

Here are some instructions for fixing this. It takes a while to get the mbpro apart to clean the fans, but it's not that difficult.

[thiagochaim]

My computer is also making this noise. It started out of the blue and it's driving me crazy.

[ru0107]

wasn't sure if it sounded like mine but then 0:19 hit haha

[gman0productions]

Wow. I have a late 2010 macbook pro and my fan makes the same noise sometimes.

It will randomly start doing that, and other times it is quieter.

I am going to take it to the Apple store.

[mleblanc3232]

it could be dust, it seems to be a common issue...

[canadasarmy]

didn't know that apple now puts chevy v8's in their macbooks

[vladx22]

@canadasarmy poweeeeeeeer

[ageovlove]

is it covered under the warranty?

[opcabpol]

@ageovlove Yes, it is.

[ellollio]

godam

[monty12341234]

lol sounds a bit like a lawn mower

[SuperOtakuRu]

Mine has this problem, it wakes me up at night and it's annoying as hell. I'm ready to take it back to the Apple Store and beat someone to death with it.

[TheMac4010]

i never had this problem at all with my MBP from April 2006... but i did have issues like one fan did not at all spin, of course got that fixed Still currently being used today lol even tho next month i am planning on building my own Quad Core AMD PC...

[Stylus1997]

LOL this same thing is happening to my Macbook Pro right now, so irritating!

[TheStaceeAdams]

Oh its so true! I record my music from my Pro and that horrible fan feedback is in half of my songs!

[LACITYDABOSS]

yea this happens to me too its annoying especially if im in starbucks

[cinemascene]

MAC zealots, time to FACE REALITY!! Apple is giving you crap Quality control (china) while marketing it with glossy nice appearance, high price, overselling the quality.

[xSquatchx]

because pcs are not made i china right?

[Kactapuss]

same exact problem.... going to the university IT tomorrow to see what there is to see......

[sazkwatch]

besides the noise irritating the fuck outta me... safari and firefox keep freezing when i open yahoo mail or myspace, anyone know how to fix it?

[jighiliano87]

THIS sound pissed me off so much that I returned the Laptop right away even though they didn't want to accept it! I like the MacBook Pro's Software and features but I guess lately Apple is using shitty material inside while they make the outside look good.

If you are ok with microsoft Windows, I recommend Lenovo T series or W series

[poiesis1111]

You can replace the bootloader on any windows laptop and run MacOS on it. The install disc for MacOS is only $30.

[Hugh9191]

there's a video on youtube showing how to replace the fan, just do a search for Macbook Pro fan replace.

[seanarrative]

oh no that sucks!

[tafboi2991]

my warranty is gone i'd like to know how to fix this or am i better off getting a new laptop? its only 2 years old though.

[opcabpol]

why don't you send it to tech support and let them fix it? should be cheaper than a new laptop...

[tafboi2991]

too late i got the screen of death now. it works for a bit and the laptop dies.

[loranalary]

well.. this is very nice.. how did you fix it?!!

this is what I'd like to know.. how did you fix it??

if someone has an idea.. feel free to answer.. but if it's just to say "go back to your old pc" don't even bother coz.. I won't .. hehe you're just jealous..

:)

[mrcaptivator]

Hah! I was about to post: "I love this music! Where may I find this piece?" and then I realized it was my own music playing. I know, random.

[redeskera]

My mbp emitted this sound for about a year and i got the fan replaced 3 times and the hardisk 5 times and now i got the entire unit replaced. guess they couldn't figure out the problem.

[CicKiz]

this is like a horror movie

[aslinettin]

It is, indeed! Hell is where you have to use this laptop.

[theyton]

Illuminated keyboard looks so awesome!

[halogenetor]

that sounds like the bearings on the fan are gone... or it might be full of dust. Get some compressed air and blow it out through the vents

[mysweetnothing]

sounds like a failing hdd

[opcabpol]

it was the fan, it's fixed now ( :

[aznttboy]

what was the fix? and is this something you can do on your own, or must the Apple Techie handle this?

[opcabpol]

the tech guy replaced the fan with a new one; not sure if it could be done on your own.

[planefreak3]

only if you are certified by apple to repair products

[xMissxAnnax]

I HAVE IT TOO

[zoidsmaster123]

MBP's are notorious for overheating because of the size of the case and the processing power. Most laptops that have full desktop processors are thicker allowing for better airflow.

So the fans die quicker from overuse.

Ounce its fixed just invest in a $10-$20 cooling pad and it will keep it from overheating and overusing the fans.

I still haven't had this problem, i bought the cooling pad when i got the MB.

[joshu23]

my ibook g3 makes the same noise

[keelious]

i had this exact same problem. i brought my macbook in twice and the fan still failed. they just replaced it again and it seems to be working fine...for now

[tomvill]

omg thats loud! my one only makes a little ticking noise!

[Nitrocide]

... has it gotten worse yet?

[tomvill]

yeah, it makes a hissing noise when it charges, on and the 2nd charger broke. anyone got a late model powerbook for sale????

[danandkaila]

try shutting your computer down hold the apple key, the option key,R and P.....holding them all down press the power button until you hear the start up apple sound 3 times then let it go....maybe it will help

[anthony445]

its not black its in the dark dumb ass

[whatwhatisaid]

umm no it actually IS black.

[netlover]

Am I the only one whose noticing this MBP is black ??!

[mdamli]

I had this as well. The MBP is in for repairs now.

Be sure to notify of this failure if you also have a failing logic board. They switched my logic board but transfered the fans (apparantly, new logic boards ship without fans unless specified).

[ChicEarthMuffin]

Dear lord, I'm glad my fan isn't quite that bad (yet).

[megajig]

that sucks man

same thing just happened to mine

apple ordered replacement parts for it

should have them in a few days

[opcabpol]

fan replaced; working fine

[MysticMaven]

I have to say that's pretty funny. They really need to get new fans. I have a 17" Powerbook, and when the fan comes on it's noticeable, but at least it has a bearable noise, unlike whatever is in you MBP :)
