MacBook Pro 16" Late 2023 Fan AssemblyFans Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to replace one or both of the fans in your MacBook Pro 16" late 2023 (M3 Pro/M3 Max).
Unlike repairs of the same kind, you have to remove the logic board to replace the fans in the MackBook Pro.
Accessing the fan requires removing the logic board, which is not typical for laptop repair. Keep this in mind before attempting the procedure.
***For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your MacBook.*** This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]].
''Some photos in this guide are of the previous model MacBook Pro and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the procedure.''
Conclusion
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.
***To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.***
