Hello everyone! I just received a 2010 13" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz! I completely scored as it was listed as 'As-Is' on eBay for $500! When it arrived, the battery wouldn't charge, it wouldn't connect to the internet, it wouldn't accept a disc, and the fans are on at full RPM. After a couple restarts, the drive now accepts discs, and after having made a new user account, the Airport works, and the battery's now at 71%, only problem is that the fan is still on constantly no matter what I do. I reset the SMC, PMU, and followed the other instructions the Apple tech suggested. I also downloaded a couple of fan control apps to see if those could remedy the problem, however it persists. Now for the good news: The computer still has AppleCare until October 2013!! Talk about a score! I'm going to attempt to make an appointment with my local authorized Mac dealer, but until then, is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance!
