Are you sure that’s the left fan and not the right ?
If you click on the buy these parts” link it shows a picture of a different fan, the one on the other side of the MBP.
Would be nice if you could clear this up.
Thank you.
Yes its the left fan when you are typing on the Mac & that is what it’s called. When you replace it however it’s on the RHS of the upside down Mac with the motherboard exposed.
after cleaning the fans from dust, my left fan is making constantly noise. it’s not loud but it is annoying by time. can i fix this or is it because the fan is damaged?
