So I have now determined that my right hand fan on my macbook 1st gen is kaput, which means my left hand fan is working overtime (around 45000 RPM) and sounding like a light aircraft taking off.
I'm going to upgrade soon anyway, but the noise is doing my head in, so I have two options.
My question is, do apple have a minimum out of warranty repair fee for something like this, if so what is it?
If apple are going to charge me 50-70 quid to replace the fan, I can live with it and it will be less hassle, however if they are going to sting me for £150 I'll bloody do it myself.
Has anyone had past experience of this sort of thing and can offer any guidance?
