I think I have thrown a fan

Ok I just picked up my MBP to use it on my sofa. When I noticed when I turned it 90 degrees I heard a small rattle. My fans have been a little loud too for the past few days (wineing noise). I will take here in for repair asap, but its going to be realistically Thursday or Sunday.

Anyone else experienced this?

I don't have my MBP just yet, but I just wanted to comment on the thread name. I really like it for some reason...

Sorry man but that really hit me funny...``I think I have thrown a fan"...Bwahahahah. REP!!!

not saying it isnt possible, but i dont think there is enough room in the case for the fan to get knocked off....you could have a little something (piece of plastic etc...) that got in the case and is getting knocked around by the fans.

lol, I think you all missunderstood. I mean a little bit of plastic may have came off my fan and is rattleing around inside my system. It would explain the change in fan noise in the last week or so.

gotcha....i think thats definately possible....take it in and have it checked out is my advice

Yeah, I am going to, I figure I will pick up either a mini or macbook while I am there too.

I had the same "rattling"-noise with my MBP. Dont bother taking it to the Apple store, just call Apple and they will send you a box...the whole process takes about less than a week. You dont need to have the Apple protection plan, because it should be covered under the 1 year hardware warranty.

Ok but I live 40 minutes from an apple store, and I work 20 minures from it. So I will go when I get time.
