This one is very strange... I have an older white Macbook 13.3 inch. The battery wasn't holding a charge for more than an hour so decided to purchase an aftermarket battery because it was so cheap. The strangest thing happened after using the macbook for a few hours after installing the new battery. The fan doesn't seem to be running at all?? With the old battery, if I even started to watch a youtube video or something, the fan would run at full speed the entire time and die down after the video was done. With the new battery, not sure if it's even running. If I listen closely, I hear noise, but not sure if it's the fan?? This Macbook still has the dedicated mouse clicker thing. I noticed with the new battery, the clicker doesn't really click but still works fine... Meaning that the new battery is putting pressure where it shouldn't so the mouse clicker doesn't make the clicking sound. Again, works fine though.
So my question is, was my old battery defective? Is that why the fan was running all of the time?? or, is the new battery putting pressure on something it shouldn't causing the fan not to run?? Could a battery putting pressure on those parts cause the fan to stop running? Not sure where the fan is located in the Macbook to understand if that theory would make sense.
If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
