Hello everybody !

My Mac Book Pro is doing a weird noise sometimes, it's random, and I solve it by moving the screen or move the computer. Here is a video of the sound it makes : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wvnI743ipo

I cleaned the inside and after checking the hdd, nothing :/

Anybody knows what it can be ?

Thanks ! :)

That also makes it just as hard to hear any strange sounds as well… ;) :Grimmace:

It sounds like you've got a CD/DVD disk in there with an improperly applied, and off balance label causing the vibration.

If it's possibly the hard drive causing the noise, I sure hope you have a current backup, if not do so ASAP!!!

Could be that. Sounds like a bad / out of balance fan to me or something hitting the blades.

Moving the machine around can start/stop that sort of thing.

ifixit.com should have a vid on fan replacement.

I've replaced a couple with fans I found at Amazon for around $15.

does sound like a fan but sounds like the ribbon cable for the monitor is hitting the fan because when you moved your screen it stopped
