Hey,
I have a Macbook pro (Model A1226 - 2007).
Basically it died a few months ago so i took it the apple store and they said it was the logicboard (and this problem is common with macs from 2007-8). The fix was to buy a new logic board, which i couldnt afford. (Mac turns on but black screen) So after looking online for other solutions i discovered the 'oven trick'. Basically you remove the logic board and place it in the oven for about 7 mins i also removed the thermal compound and reapplied some new compound. I then put it all back together and it turns back on!! Everything works fine and normally! Except when starting up it stays on the apple screen (with a spinning wheel) for about 1 minute. But the main problem is the fans! They are so loud all of a sudden. Very loud. I have some software which says my system is only at around 40c, but the fans are at 6000rpm, not sure if thats normal or not. Anywy whats wrong with my fans? I have tried resetting the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM, but doing that didnt help. What caused this?( and try to refrain from saying because you put it into the oven). What can i do to fix this? i took lots of care while taking it apart and putting it all back together etc. Thanks!
