my girl has a macbook pro 15inch. the previous version... not the newest one. over the last few months it has been shutting itself off automatically, i guess due to it overheating..... so ive taken it apart because i thought it might be clogged up with dust (even tho theres no exhuast or intake openings).
it seems that the left fan doesnt freely spin when nudged. i havent taken it out but i guess its dead, right?
i have tried to source a replacement but not sure where to start to find a reliable reseller. ive contacted the local authorised Apple Service centre and they seem to charge more than necessary as the warranty has recently expired and it seems that ive sourced the problem and are not willing to sell me the part.
has any1 come across the left fan failing issue? google seems to think its a widespread issue.
can any1 recommend a reputable seller?
Thanks in advance
