[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1816460, member: 24098"] On earlier MBPs, the fans were replaceable without having to remove the heatsink/heat tube assembly. Though you can generally replace the fans themselves, I would be shocked if the replacement motherboard didn't come as a complete assembly (i.e. with fans and heatsinks pre-installed). I haven't worked on a newer machine and Apple has done its utmost to constrain availability of parts, so I could be completely off-base, but my experience has been that they try to make repairs as simplistic as possible so that the average trained chimp can do them.
