Left fan in my MBP makes some weired noise when shutting down

Hi, my model is 2.4 Late 2008, few days ago the left side of my mbp dropped on the table because I forgot to take out the headphone when I stood up.. Now every times I turn off the computer, the left fan makes noises that sound like the fan is touching to the cover (when the fan slows down). What should I do now?
Thank you very much.

  • Time capsule makes high pitch noise then shuts down

    Time capsule makes high pitches noise then shuts down

    Unfortunately, this is the sound of the high voltage capacitors in the main power supply failing. It will not be long until the Time Capsule makes no sound.
    If the Time Capsule in warranty, Apple will replace it. If you have AppleCare in effect on one of your Macs, the Time Capsule might be covered as well if it is not more than 3 years old.
    Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one near you....to discuss your options.
    Or, contact Apple Support directly.

    If the Time Capsule is out of warranty, Apple will not offer repairs, but there are some shops that will repair the device for you. See this link for more details:

  • HT201263 My 3GS has gone faulty. It won't power up and with a wall charger connected, only gets as far as the apple logo. It then makes a vibration noise and shuts down again

    Hi guys, looking for some assistance with my 3GS. A few weeks back it started playing up. Shutting down suddenly and the like. Now, it's failing to start up. When I connect it to a wall charger, the apple logo comes on and after a short while it vibrates and then gives the 'connect to iTunes' message. The minute I disconnect from the wall, it just shuts down. If I keep it connected at the wall it goes through the above sequence before shutting down and repeats the cycle again and again.
    I've tried all the 'recovery' methods without any success. The device is not recognised by iTunes. I've taken it to small independent repair outlets who say they can't repair it. Is there anything I can do or is it totally gone for good?

    It MAY have a bad battery, and that may be all it needs. But you can't find out until you replace the battery, and then you might find out it's something different. It's a 4 year old phone; consider getting a newer model. If you take it to an Apple store they should be able to diagnose it. Make a Genius Bar appointment before going to avoid a long wait.

  • MBP 13": single clicking noise when cooling down

    Hello, I noticed that every time when my 2011 MBP cools down, say, after playing a game or other processor/graphics-intensive tasks, a single clicking noise is emitted (roughly) from the area around the left side of the keyboard. Is this a build quality issue? Should I be concerned? Thanks in advance.

    Well, I found out the solution to this problem. My 3 month ago MBP had the internal hard drive die on it. I took my MBP to the Mac Genius and he tested it a number of different ways. The HD was bad. I really needed my MBP for a business trip the next week so I bought the ProCare card to ensure that my MBP would be fixed in time. It was ready three days later. No problems since!

  • My macbook pro 2006 fan goes high and then makes a fast beep and shuts down it been happening since i updated

    my macbook pro 2006 fan goes high and then makes a fast beep and shuts down it been happening since i updated it should i update to lion?

    No, this problem should be solved.
    The MBP shuts down when too hot, to protect itself. First see if it is a process running astray: start Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities) choose <all processes> and click the %CPU column: are there processes that are using more than 50% cpu power? If yes click it and quit it, and tell us which one.

  • Satellite P200 makes some strange noises after closing the music

    I've got a Satellite P200 and the flash cards don't react and when Ive played some music.
    The computer makes some strange noises after closing the music?
    Help me please!
    grtz Wendy

    Hello Wendy
    Please don't understand me wrong but it is not easy to understand issue described in your posting.
    I have the same notebook model and everything works well. I hear music daily on Windows media player (mp3s) or listening online radio using Winamp player.
    At the same time I can use flash cards.
    What to say about strange noises? Who knows what do you mean exactly and how should we understand this?
    Please be so nice and explain us exactly what do you do and what kind of noises you can hear.

  • My MBP (2007 intel) freezes or spontaneously shuts down and crackling comes from the speakers.

    My MBP (2007 intel) freezes or spontaneously shuts down and crackling comes from the speakers. Sometimes this happens together all at once? It happens with and without peripherals. Has this happened to anyone else?
    It does not seem to be linked to a specific program or periferal use.
    I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.

    Run the Apple Hardware Test and swee if any issues are discovered.  Also a SMC and PRAM resets may help.
    Ciao.

  • Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???

    Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???
    I would expect that it would make an unusual noise if plugged into a generic USB charger that does not have enough oomph to charge a pad to alert you - otherwise, you might think the noise is reassuring that you are actually charging it.

    I guess my question was actually more of a comment on the (lack of) design!  It is unusual that something like this would still be in an Apple product.  There are wall chargers that have a USB port on them that do not have the required oomph to charge the iPad.  I have one that has two USB ports, one for my iPhone  (it won't charge an iPad), and one for an iPad with greater amperage rating.  I accidentally used the wrong ones for a while yesterday, but noticed before being "surprised" the next morning by an uncharged iPad.  The iPad is smart enough to say "Not charging" by the battery icon when it is plugges in to one of these, so it "knows" - seems like it would be fairly simply to have the iPad make a different or additional noise  wehn it puts up the "Not charging" text icon.  Failsafe user experience?

  • My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting dvd, I have a macbook PRo

    My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting a dvd. Does that means it needs to be replaced?

    It's more like a grinding sound. I was trying to convert  the dvd with Mpeg Streamclip when it started , After that I tried with Handbrakes and got the same sound. I gave it  a rest and inserted another dvd and it was fine. Now I don't know what to do, looks like the drive is ok..

  • HT1725 I was downloading some songs and iTunes shut down.

    I was downloading some songs and iTunes shut down. It says I've purchased a song but it isn't in my purchased playlist, but it charged me for it. How do I get the song, or get my money back?

    You've tried the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on your computer's iTunes, and does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes ?
    If not then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Click here for information; if the computer beeps three or fewer times, remove and reinsert the computer's RAM. If it beeps four or more times, it needs to be repaired. If it's a G5, it will ignore RAM modules that aren't part of a matching pair.

  • My iPod Touch 4g 8 gig keeps restarting randomly while I'm playing.. It makes some buzz noise and restarts, it's really annoying. What do I do?

    I've just purchased this iPod Touch. I would turn on my ipod touch 4g, 8gig. Then I would play my music.. While playing it, it would continuously restart, and make some buzz noize. Charging it is a hassle too. Even right now for some reason it keeps charging, and un charging, charging, and un charging, repeatedly
    What should I do? I can turn my music on right now, set it to autoplay, and it will continue to throw itself into the restart screen, and restart. Please help, thank you.

  • Why does my macbook make a funny noise when I open it?

    After my macbook pro has been on the charger for some time & I open it up, it will make a funny noise & the screen will be blue with a bar on it.  Takes a little bit before I can use it,  Does anyone know what is wrong?

    I quit all applications & close the lid.  I usually use the charger all time.  If I leave it unplugged from the charger, it will not do this.  It will make a whirring noise & the screen will be blue over my background, will have a bar on it like it is loading.  Then will finally let me use the curser after a few seconds.  Only had the macbook for about 4 months.  It started doing this about 2 month after I bought it.
    If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them.  Let them deal w/it.
