    Just watched your video as my MacBook has exactly the same problem and sound! You are far more confident than me in fixing it but your video has enabled me to confirm diagnosis and I can find a local company to assist. Much as I love Apple products, my 13” MacBook Pro is only 3 years old and the fan is failing and my beloved MacBook Air was 6 years old when there was an RAM failure which could not be fixed as integral to the Motherboard and no spare parts available! Thank you for such a clear and informative video - now following!

    Workers at the nearby airport are already complaining that my 2011 MBP fan is too loud for them to concrentrate when I'm turning my machine on.

    About to upgrade my RAM and the fan, so thank you for this video! I've previously upgraded my hard drive to a SSD, best thing I've done, so I'm continuing the upgrades, sooo much cheaper than getting a new laptop or paying someone else to upgrade it for me. The fan was 10 euro on amazon.

    I have a late 2016 MPB without touchbar. My fan has started making that same sound over the last few months. Not very often. It usually only happens for a minute every once in a while when I boot into either MacOS or windows, never when I’m playing the sims 4 or doing a lot of productivity work, just normal fan function then.

  • @HeTake123
    @HeTake123 Před 5 lety +5

    The black rubber pad on the fan connector is protection, under it there is a small circuit board so the fan can speak with the logic board for fan speed etc. The fan that you put in is taken from a more recent MacBook, on the earlier models the fan was black, and on the later ones they are silver :-)

    I adore my mid- '12 even though the display cracked a year ago when I shut it on a pen. I have it HDMI'd to a 55" 4K. Too many keys are janked so I use a wireless keyboard and trackpad. All = splendid.
    Use a 10.5 iPadPro a lot these days as well. Was surprised to find I can do quite a lot. Cloud makes it easy to pick up on one where I left off on the other sans sync.
    I've always devved on live servers anyway, so don't need localhost and to install plethora of maintenance heavy shit.
    Took Mom's Air to a 3rd party repair that sent it far away to another 3rd party repair shack and cost just about as much as Apple. The trackpad is jiggly so it was a loss. Checking iFixIt to see if there's something I can do. Marvelous vid, mate. 👍🏽

  • @brak51

    Loved this video, I do my best to do all my own repairs on my pc's and mac products. I have let Apple fix one or two things over the years that I was not confident in fixing. Other than that though I fix my own computers. Thanks for the reference to ifixit, I will be looking into some of their tools. Could you possibly do a series on Javascript & Dom scripting? I just started a new job and I have to become proficient in Javascript and Dom scripting. Most of the Javascript training on youtube does not provide you with the ability to verify that the code you have written is correct. I know
    Javascript is probably not very challenging for you, and that it might be boring for you to do a series in it, but it would be very helpful. I know your busy, but I think your able to explain things in a way that's easy to follow and so the learning is easier. Please think about it.
    Your amazing!!!
    Cheers

  • @DanielDogeanu
    @DanielDogeanu Před 4 lety

    I had a similar problem with my HP laptop, I had to replace the fan three times. The reason is that the fans are very poorly made and if your power settings are set to get maximum performance out of your laptop, it will spin too fast and eventually damage the bearings of the fan, and make that horrible noise. The last time I changed the fan, I just reinstalled Windows and let power settings on default. I didn't have that problem again so far. Fingers crossed though...

    • @jakewrightnet
      @jakewrightnet  Před 2 lety +1

Im only going to buy a new one when it decides to die, even having a broken gpu that was fixed by apple like 3 times (in warranty and that program that they had for the bad gpu probs). I like to see people using thei machines till they die, this is the best for the planet and we make sure we use our things to the max livespan as possible. Hope it lastes a bit more years :DDDD

    At 2:48 when you first present us with the sound: It sounds like a bycicle spike card ( czcams.com/video/krPQ1PMM00Y/video.html ) so maybe blades were just pretty worn out and were "bumping" at something. In my experience, if it were the bearing, it would be a more constant noise, not so much rattling. But yeah, there is definitely a difference in laptop fan and desktop fan (the most different seems to be a frequency of the noise, as this seems to be a higher pitched noise than the noise that a fan in my desktop is making).

    If anyone is interested in watching/learning how to repair Macbooks online, OR have them repaired (even internationally) go to Louis Rossmann's channel here:
    czcams.com/users/rossmanngroup
    He shows you how he repairs Macbooks live, and offers parts, info, and service for your Macbook when Apple tells you it can't be fixed or that it will cost you $700 plus your first-born child.
    Every day he broadcasts himself fixing Macbooks brought to him by folks who were told at the Apple store that they couldn't be fixed.
    His videos are very entertaining as well and has over 800 thousand subscribers.
    He is located in NYC, and you can send your Macbook from anywhere in the world. He has 10 employees at his NYC store. Just sayin'. Check him out.

  • @cjay2
    @cjay2 Před 5 lety

    Jake, I'm less than 2 minutes into your vid, and I advise you to NEVER take the advise of anyone at the Apple store. Never. In another comment here I show you a great Macbook repair channel by Louis Rossmann, in New York City. If you watch a couple of his vids, you'll understand why not to trust Apple EVER. He initiated a suit against Apple last year as a part of a class action suit, supporting 3rd-party 'right to repair', which Apple is heavily against.
    Anyway, FAN RATTLE HAS ZERO TO DO with any software, app, or system function. - You figured that out, thankfully. I'll watch the rest of the vid now.
    EDIT: Hey you survived the repair and it works fine. Some tips:
    Never try and lever against or apply pressure to any of the chips on the board - you did fine. Angled pressure can break solder connections under the chips and can break traces in and on the board as well.
    You figured out that flip-up connector! Those can be really difficult for first-timer encounters.
    The fan could be an alternate supplier 2nd or 3rd party. As long as it works, it's fine.
