@PowerbookMedic the problem is the screws on the fans were broken... i could not remove them........ 5555. I am so dead

@orehajones - You may have a defective logic board which was caused by your fan going out. The fan is the first thing to try, but it's possible your logic board also has issues.

My MacBook would suddenly restart from time to time, I'm its do to over heating. surely replacing the fan will fix that, Right?

am replacing my logic board on my Black Macbook 2.0 Core duo, however I was sent a White logic board, everything fits the same, except for the 2 snap on connectors you remove @3:10. If i buy an exhaust fan from a white model would this solve my problem?

@simn22 - If the connector is different for the fan, then multiple connectors should be different including the inverter cable connection. It should be the difference between a 3 wall and a 4 wall connector. Most likely you'll just need to get the correct board for your unit. You could try a fan if you're sure that's the only difference though.

@PowerbookMedic thanks for the reply. Does the 3-4 wall connector come from being either the Black or White model? Surprisingly the inverter cable didn't seem to have a problem connecting. At least I hope it is connected.

@simn22 - No, they are variations in models of the boards. Some have all three wall, some have all 4 wall, and some have a variation of the two. If the connector looks to be seated properly, then you should be good. The two types are not similar and will not fit in each others sockets.

hello! the fan of my mac pro 13 would make this lousy sound and gets really really hot while I am using it.... do u think I would be able to fix it myself or should i send it back to apple store? I bought my mac in 2009 summer. also I have the screw drivers and everything to open the back silver cover
