MacBook Pro With Fans on High
May 11th, 2010
Machine:
MacBook Pro 15″ 2.6Ghz
Symptom:
Fans run high on boot. Even with little or no use, the fans run on full. Fans run at or near 6000rpm at rest (1000rpm would be normal at rest.)
Possible Causes:
Loose or failed temperature sensors. Logic board issue – often caused and covered by the NVIDIA logic board recall.
Solution:
Have an Authorized Apple Service Provider (like MyService.com) test the logic board and see if it’s covered under the NVIDIA recall (only AASP’s have the means to test and see if the board qualifies.) Even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty, this repair may be covered.
