motorbike

[Maybeline001]

my mac also have problem like that. did the sound can affect our laptop from damage? i cleaned that a fan before but the sound still the same one.. T.T

[chitoredhead]

mine making this sound -.-' after 3 years of used

[dickcheney6]

I think the air:gas ratio is off. It may also need an oil change. :D

[SpAMCAN]

Same problem.

@meankookoo

Flash can not work on touch screen based devices because there's no cursor that could hover over an object (mouseOver). HTML5+Javascript+CSS can be used to achieve most of the things that flash does.

[coffeeandsugar20]

@meankookoo Perhaps...

But at least I'm not using shitty ass fucking Winblow$

[coffeeandsugar20]

Haha. You my friend, are full of shit.

[xoxox977]

from which site did you buy the fan? i am facing the same issue.

[AndreaFranchitti]

Alienbook

[theringfilm1]

at school the fan fan never goes on anyway we use macbooks (2007-2008)

[macfuehrbush]

@meankookoo yes but then you have to find the exact part for you pc laptop because there hundreds of them but only one or 2 macbooks

[irulethe70s]

You can buy a new fan from ifixit

[007knick]

ok mate BACK EVERYTHING UP!

[ZioZambe]

? Why? It's just a fan! :D

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

hahahahahahahahahahahahhaaaaaa­!!!!!!!!!

[JUNKYARDOGvideos]

my mac book pro done the same then my hard drive phisicaly frose,

i lost a lot of stuff that was not backed up , not to mention all the aplications.

by advice is back everything up and get new fans NOW!

[gjgreenman]

My three year old MacBook did the same thing, so I ordered a new fan and replaced it. It worked perfect, no more noise, smooth as new. THEN, this morning (two days later) I booted up the computer only to hear a faint/quieter version of the same sound coming from the new fan! It's not dust (I cleaned the other one before replacing it), and clearly its not just a problem with the fan. Maybe a logic board problem that turns the fan bad over time?? I have no clue.

[phillipngyn]

Dude my macbook pro has the same exact problem. That's what happened when they get old. I hate Apple for this.

[pluto]

THis happens to all computer manufacturers, not just Apple.

[SOF006]

sounds like someone is getting their hand chopped off by a blender xD

[crywolfe210]

Sounds like a 2 stroke with a resonator exhaust :3

[dmc040]

thats due to the dust particles forming od it, i suggest u clean it

[pluto]

That and a drop of oil and you're good to go for a few more months :D

[huzunky]

sounds like an bad scooter xD it has been funny if you had downloaded smcspeedfan and set the rpm ut to 6200..

[chillined121]

i had the same problem and they told me at the apple store that my fan was broken and it cost me like $80 to get it fixed

[codyl1992]

yep i bought a new fan from a apple parts website and installed it myself and it was $40.

[d23]

is the installation hard?

[nasko3de]

@codyl1992

I have the same roaring fan and it is driving me crazy. I wanted to ask you if you remembered where did you buy the fan?

thanks!

[cheetawolf]

i think the bearings are broken

[joewillgo]

There is a software you can use to fix this problem

[codyl1992]

nope it was hardware i installed myself a new fan and it was just fine.

[nasko3de]

@codyl1992

hey, i was wondering where did you buy the fan??

mine is roaring and making me crazy...

thanks.

[nasko3de]

@codyl1992

hey, i was wondering where did you buy the fan??

mine is roaring and making me crazy...

thanks.

[lewys120]

i know why it makes taht noise its easy to fix too.

1) it makes that noise because apple and mac are SHIT

2) Buy a windows to fix this problem :)

[wallaceandhamilton]

the fan isn't made by apple u cock head!! they use the same fan in shitty windows laptops too!

[TheCh0senGamer]

Oh, no. No no no. Linux is the way to go, brother. Windows PCs are almost as bad as Macs.

[theamazingmac]

windows? it's a problem with the fan what does windows have to do with it?

[eyeseekiel]

My macbook makes the same noise...It started a few weeks after I bought it.

I just took it to the genius bar at the apple store. They wanted $25 for a new fan, and $105 for the labour!!

They wouldn't just sell me a new fan, tho.

Anyone know where I can pick one up?

[Carloz800]

i know they make best laptops out there, but they are not that easy to carry around. my macbook is under 1" thin and i can play any game on low but it is still playable

[Carloz800]

alienware are home computers, i can be carrying a fat laptop everywhere i go, and my macbook doesnt collect dust lol

[RetroKidJaye]

wtf i had mine for 8 months,;i didnt hear dht yet

[newscorpion22]

Hey... i bought my macbook aluminium 3 months ago... this week it starts to do this noise.... do you know what to do?

(sorry my english)

[AngryBassist66623]

All you have to do is turn it off, remove the battery, then open it up with a screwdriver, then apply one drop of WD-40 to each fan, then put it back together.

[Zachintosh4]

dude i am sorry but all i have to tell u is to bring it in to apple at the genius bar and let them take a look at it

[joshrholloway]

My black MacBook makes almost this exact same noise. I really need to replace it. Where did you get your fan, and how easy was it to replace it?

[codyl1992]

lol well mine was out of warranty, i paid 40 bucks for the new fan, but yes that is one reason i prefer pc's

[codyl1992]

alienware comptuers are hugely overpriced, I could build a computer for $1000 thats better than alienware's $3000 comptuers

[aqeelgeo]

My MacBook recently started to make the same noise. So, did u fix yours? Can u advise me?

[grineti5]

it sounds just like a chainsaw!!!!!!!:D

[kimtop1986]

exactly the same with you

[Rio356]

it seems that your fan is dirty

do you like in a soilish area your fan is dirty :(

[codyl1992]

yeah, thats what you'd think but i never used it in any area with dust. when i opened it there was a lot of dust in it though.

[JGalva88]

Woah that sucks. Sounds like a Lawn Mower lol

[koomei2]

For those who have same problems, i have one question. Do you guys put your laptop not on a table but on something made of fabric, nairon, etc, and play games for a long time? Cuz i thought that could be something that can screw your fan by not effectively cooling your computer.

[dovella]

Get a Dell!!!

[epic27]

fan's go out even in Dells!

[dovella]

get a Dell, and get a Vista SP1

[Xertazer]

why should he/she get vista, mac is much much much much better than vista and macbook is better than dell laptops. And even XP is better than vista...

[drivojulianrobotnik]

To dovella....The fan is not controled by the OS. It is controlled by the SMB Bus and CPU.

[o0samotech0o]

go to activity moinitor and look at CPU processes, and quit print manager :)

[JKJL14]

yep, i have the same prob as you. =(

[codyl1992]

you can fix it by yourself if you are careful. you just have to open the whole computer up trackpad and keyboard and all. thats what I did, and I payed just $40 for the new fan.

[hellzone100]

Yes Mine Started doing that.... No more then a year old... fucking apple. I yet have to buy mine.

[stashdash]

wow at least your fan didnt stop working, mine stopped working and it said fan warning and all that time i was wondering why my macbook was so hot.

[BeauGiles]

I suffer from the same problem :-(

Going to send mine in soon.

[cripplekitty]

Haha. Sucker.

[TheOmightyOne]

hit with a hammer that will work if not put some orange juice down there

Windows + Linux For life

[unknownshadow1993]

get a macbook air and it does not have a ventilasion so it is realy cool

[PEABZZZ]

hi, my macbook does the same sound every now and then, but it never gets as silent as it used to be for the past year. I didn't find anywhere what the problem is, so thanks, now I know. Does anybody know how to fix it? It really is kind of annoying when it starts doing it in class. Thanks.

[peepskarf]

introducing the petrol powered macbook god what will they think of next!

[snowzone00]

the sound its like....AWESOME!! where u get it from?? i want one just like dat

[applemacbook94]

sounds lk a blender

[HelloNewYorkCity]

Will it Blend? That is the question.

[DrummerBoy5980]

[malinko35]

kill it with fire.

[keuleseibt]

sounds great!

[codyl1992]

lol

[CaptainHJ]

drop the crappy mac and buy a pc, its worth it, trust me, macs just plain old dont stand a chance against a pc.

[uueez]

yeah, you're an idiot. i've never seen a pc break before. ever. and i love how pc's are trash after a year due to virus' unless you spend $100 a year on virus protection. its an awesome feature. yeah, macs break, pc's break, shit happens. every person i've talked to who actually has a mac, not people who've used a mac once or twice, loves it.

[elgranto7]

or get agv free, which is free virus protection, only noobs pay for virus protection

[krohonos]

I dont even need virus protection... so who is the biggest noob here?

[W1LLP94]

mac s kik ass compared to pc , just cz u crnt affrd 1

[beanbag1985]

aw now comon now play nice children, why cant everyone just stick to your preference. i build pcs, but like macs too, they taste like chicken! lol!

[applemacbook94]

pc's suck
