Had a problem with a noisy fan. Apparently the blades were scratching its housing, so i just bend the aluminium housing a bit and spin the fan to see if its still had a contact. It works like a charm.

Just got my first ever Mac yesterday, used it all day without realizing the fan wasn't working. Opened it up this morning to find the fan completely unplugged from the board. Plugged it back in and now it's working great! Thanks so much!

good instruction, thanks. But: the replacement fan from iFixit is lots more louder than the orig from Apple - sad.
