Hi, would like to ask if anyone has changed their MBP 17" fan before?

My right fan is currently exhibiting some weird noise when it is spinning and when i check iStat Pro, there have been instances where the right fan is spinning at 1.5k RPM while the left fan is spinning at 2K RPM. Right now, it is spinning at about 1.8K RPM and the left fan still at 2K RPM.

Has anyone ever brought their MBP down to eServ to change the fan before? How long does it take for the replacement to be done?

The important thing is.. is this even covered under AppleCare? Thanks guys!

went down to eServ before.
Very good service.
Took them only 1 day to change my keyboard, cdrom and battery.
So replacing fan shld take quite fast depending on stocks?

Yes, it shld be covered.

Thanks for the info..

I've just downloaded SMC Fan Control and rev-ved both fans to 6K RPM, only the left fan is capable of revving up.. the right fan just stays at 1.8K RPM.. I guess it'll die out on me soon.

ic. Better faster send it in for repair already.

I was thinking of sending it down on Friday but I guess it can't wait any longer.
