How to Remove the Macbook Pro 13 Inch Fan

[daddycez]

I accidentally pulled the little outlet that the fan-plug goes into :( How much effort/cost would that take to fix?!

@daddycez - You'll likely need a replacement board. Depending on how it ripped off, component level repair may be possible but it's unlikely.

@daddycez hahahaha

Does this work for Macbooks?

[PowerbookMedic]

@mrjesusjohnson - See our other videos for the A1181 Macbook procedure

Well, that was easier than I thought it'd be. Thanks for the video, I've got to clean my noisy fan this weekend.

So the power cable just pulls out? Is this the same as in the 17 inch macbook pro? thanks!

[PowerbookMedic]

@charnk - It's very similar.

hmm... mine has no screws holding the fan in place :S

hello what exact scredriver is this ??, is there any link where i can buy it online directly ?? thanks for the video !

[PowerbookMedic]

@Alexfonse - The screwdriver is available from our website. It is a Philips Head #00.

The screws holding my fan in place will not budge at all. It's like they've been welded, but I guess this problem is unique to my computer because you don't seem to have any problem removing them. The screws are nearly stripped now and I'm starting to think I'm out of options. Nice videos though.

You can notice a huge improvement through the years how apple laptops are buit.

I can remember those TiBooks, I had to open one of these machines and ended up in a mess with wires. i was lucky to reassemble it quite nicely so that it runs again.

And now, all of the components are seperated, the LB, the Drive, the harddisk, cool!

Not bad.
