Cooling Fan for MacBook / MacBook Pro 13" A1278 - A1342

The Cooling Fan for MacBook / MacBook Pro 13" A1278 - A1342 pushes hot air out of the processor heatsink. It is the part to fit when the fan makes a loud or grinding noise, does not spin at all, or the Mac runs very hot, slows down and shuts off by itself.

Main features

• Condition: part removed from a Mac, fully tested.
• Brand: OEM component, the fan manufacturer may vary depending on stock availability.
• Connection: connector on the logic board, screw mounted.

Cooling Fan for MacBook A1342 and A1278

The fan sits under the bottom case, at the back of the MacBook, next to the heatsink fins. Over time the bearings wear out and dust builds up: the result is a constant hum, full speed even under light load or, on the contrary, a fan that no longer starts. Before ordering, check your model on the page of the fan for MacBook A1278 - A1342.

Replacement Fan for MacBook 13" Unibody

Replacing the fan brings the Mac back to normal temperatures and stops the slowdowns caused by overheating. Take the chance to clean the dust out of the heatsink too: the two together make the difference. Discover all the details of this part.
