I've had my 15 inch Macbook Pro i5 since last June and haven't had a problem with it until now. Even when its cold sometimes the left fan will randomly kick on for no apparent reason. The fan goes for awhile and almost sputters, not knowing if to stay on or not. It dosen't matter if its plugged in or running on the battery. I'm sure this fan speed isn't normal because its only recently started to do it and it is much louder than it has ever been. Also, when the left fan kicks on, putting slight pressure on the bottom right speaker will make it turn off, when I release the pressure the fan continues to make noise.
I've tried resetting my smc multiple times like other fan noise posts have recommended and all of my software is up-to-date. I'm starting to believe that this is a hardware issue and I will have to send it in to be repaired.
Has anyone experienced this before and have any advice?
Thanks.
