The difficulty level on this really should be changed to moderate like the keyboard replacement one. Infact, this is actually easier to do than the keyboard portion since you don't need to mess with much else after removing the keyboard other than R&I the fan.... just a thought since i just did both fans and the keyboard at once.

anyway

nice writeup. very straight forward. thanks!!!

This guide was INCREDIBLY helpful! I walked through the R&I in under a half hour, and felt ENTIRELY confident at EVERY step of the (lengthy) procedure. MANY THANKS for publishing such a clear guide, and for making all these impossible to get parts available, since Apple no longer supports the A1211 Mac Book Pro, even off-warranty.

I just replaced the right and left fans in my A1211 Macbook Pro, went pretty well, my only issue was on the connection of the right fan cable to the logic board. When I connected it, it seemed to come off too easily, but I could not get a better fit. Now that I am finished and turned on the computer, I am worried that the fan is not spinning. Does anyone know if I can safely open up the computer again and then turn on the computer safely so that I can view if the fan is moving? Or, is there another way to check if the fan is moving? When I put my ear up to the left fan, I can hear the slight sound of the spinning, but on the left side, I can't hear anything.
