Macbook fan not working
Greetings,
My macbook is suffering from a non working fan.
- After the firmware upgrade it worked fine, but stopped working. I never really noticed until recently.
- smcFanControl cannot get the fan working (showing always 000rpm and 55 to 80 deg C)
- I have 2gb memory and have no overheat issues...until I run my new EyeTV hybrid which will make it shutdown.
Any suggestions to test the fan and it this is a hardware or software problem
Thanks in advance, Marty

If I were you, I would get an second opinion and try iStat Pro. On my MacBook it shows my fan speed as I write this at 1800 rpm (it varies a few rpm on either side of 1800.) This utility also reports several temperature reading from 35-50 degrees.
As someone else wrote here, I would think your computer would either not run or shut down very quickly without the fan. At least that's been my experience on other computers that I've owned.

Have a 13.3 2.0 GhzBlack Macbook with 2 Gb Ram.
Fan stopped working, (I can see its not running on istat nano). The computer gets very hot, specially when working with video. It shuts down automatically.
Bought a new fan online and replaced it myself with Ifixit instructions. Still not working.
Any ideascould be a number of things.
Are you certain that you plugged the fan in to the motherboard correctly? Could one of the wires have been damaged during the installation? Of course the replacement fan could also be faulty, or the logicboard could have a problem. I'd start by rechecking your installation, or get hold of another fan. You really don't have many options beyond that. -
Horrible fps problems, fans not working
Hi,
Whenever I play League of Legends on my 15 inch retina macbook pro, the game starts out smoothly with a consistent 60 fps. However, after a certain period of time, the fps severely drops to about 5. It never used to do this, but now it happens consistently. Also, the fans have not turned on in months; they used to always be on whenever I played League, but they seem to never turn on anymore. Could the fps problem be related to the fan not working? Please help, and thanks!Sargeraspa,

AnanthEach version of Extension Manager only installs/manages extensions for the same suite of products. EM CS6 only installs extensions for DW CS6. To install extensions for DW CS5, you should launch EM CS5 to install it. Note that you have to update EM CS5 to 5.0.3 before you launch EM CS5 in Mac 10.8, otherwise EM CS5 will crash due to Mac API change. You can use Adobe Application Manager to update EM CS5 or download and run http://download.macromedia.com/pub/dw_exchange/extension_manager/mac/AdobeExtensionManager _5_0_3_mul_AdobeUpdate.dmg which can be found at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/.

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?
Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?
Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
if you have one already you can rename either one ..
and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . . -

My macbook is not working with any headphones!!!!
i have a problem my macbook is not working with any headphones
can any body tell me why is it doing this?
or how i can tell if its just the headphone jack w/o taking it to an apple store? I really dont have the time until the end of the semester and i dont want my macbook crashing on me when working on a project.
thanks in advanceWhen you plug the headphones in can you still hear the audio through the MacBook's built-in speakers? If you can then you may have a physical problem with the audio port on the MacBook. In any case, you should check to see if the headphones are being recognized in the System Preferences -> Sound control panel (under the "Output" tab). Note that it is possible to have different volume/mute settings between the speakers and the headphones so you need to check the Sound control panel to see if you have the headphone output set to mute. When I plug a set of headphones into my MacBook the output name in the Sound control panel changes to "Headphones" from "Internal Speakers." You should check to see if you see the same behavior on your MacBook.

The return button on my macbook is not working, any suggestions?
the return button on my macbook is not working, any suggestions?
By the way, if you are still interested, I found a solution. It's a bit crazy, but basically I have insulated the parts of the keyboard connector corresponding to the power button using some thin tape and then used a very thin wire going from the logicboard (where the test pads for startup are located) to my eject key, this way the original power button does not respond anymore and the eject key can be used as the power button, just like in the new Airs
I can provide photos if you want. -
Macbook pro not working without battery
my macbook pro not working if i remove the battery
& if the battery is empty my macbook pro not working before chargingTry an SMC reset:

You should not run on AC with the battery removed. The MBP should work that way, but the OS throttles back the CPU so running like that is not recommended. -

Hi,

HP ProBook 5220m (Bios Version F50) Fan not working with battery power but work fine with adapter plugged in.
This issue was found in my replacement motherboard. the original mother do not have this issue.
The origianl mother to be replace is due to can't power on after a power failure recovery. I believe was due to power surge killed the motherboard's power controller circuitry.
