I followed instructions to replace the internal hard-disk, but I think I've damaged one thermal sensor, now fan is running at full speed and is not possible to slow down it via software (I tried with SMC Fan Control).
Is there any other way to force control of the fan ? I don't know where to find another thermal cable here in Italy...
Thanks
Is dit een goede vraag?

If you don't plug in the sensor in the first place, the fan will run 100% all the time. Make sure the other end is plugged in where it belongs?
If the sensor part really is broken, your options are kinda limited. You can mail order another one if you want, they seem to be running about $25 though I know nothing about shipping to Italy. Apple calls it a "hard drive sensor cable" and here's your google search.
I would imagine if you really like hacking your hardware you could get a manual fan control and just set the fan to the highest noise you want to put up with but that's really a horrible way to treat a brand new computer.
Good luck!

This is a Mid 2010 machine. It's under warranty. Why are you replacing the hard drive?
