Replacing a defective fan is pretty easy and will keep your laptop running cool. This guide is for the fan on the left side of the Macbook when in normal operation. It will be the right-hand fan when you are removing it.

With the case closed, place the Unibody top-side down on a flat surface.
-
Depress the grooved side of the access door release latch enough to grab the free end. Lift the release latch until it is vertical.
-
-
-
The access door should now be raised enough to lift it up and out of the Unibody.
-
-
-
Grab the translucent plastic tab and pull the battery up and out of the Unibody.
-
If the latch is depressed it will lock the battery in place.
Do I need to wait for the battery to charge completely before using the computer (while plugged in)?
No. You do not need to charge it completely before removing it.

The fixit PH00 is the wrong screw driver for this entire job. It did not fit in the screws, it was too pointy and caused screws to be rounded off.

Using both hands, lift and remove the lower case off the upper case.
About midway along each edge is a snap. To release each snap, gently slide the flat edge of a Spudger under the lower case, then lift the lower case away.

Use a spudger to pry the fan connector straight up off the logic board.
Be very careful prying this connector off. I got the spudger in the wrong spot and popped the little connector right off the circuit board. Now I either need to replace the board, or find a trained flea with a soldering iron.
Have you found any places that can solder the socket back on, I'm in the same predicament.

Remove three 3.5 mm Phillips screws securing the left fan to the upper case and logic board.
Could not get the screws to release. Stripped two screw drivers, not the screw heads.
Used a good heavy screwdriver and it worked fine. Still was very tight first, but the right tool made all the difference.
Same problem, but I stripped one of the screws. Still cannot get out.
Stripped two of the three screws trying to swap the fan. Ordered several types of extractors online. The first one I got was a small set of extraction pliers: www.vampiretools.com/shop/products/pliers/vampliers-mini-5-screw-extraction-pliers-2 . These worked well: got both screws out in 10 seconds. (No affiliation with that company, just a surprised and satisfied user.)

I assume you have the newer model, with the built-in battery. It's still removable with tools, but these are the wrong instructions for that model.

On other guides you state the height of the HD that can be supported, e.g. MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Model A1211 Festplatte tauschen , I have read ( but have not confirmed ) that the uni-body MacBook Pro can be fitted with the 750GB and 1TB 12mm drive from Western Digital.
Can you confirm this?
Many thanks in advance.

My display and aluminum casing has separated.
I don't know if it just snaps back together or does it need to be glued.
I dropped mine on the carpeted stairs and the display still works.
I'm hoping I can just snap it back together and that no plastic pieces or teeth of the snapping
portion have been broken........

When you say "left fan" is this "left when looking at the logic board after turning the computer over and looking it up opening it up" or "left when sitting at the computer keyboard and typing on it"?
thvv - Antwort
We always use left and right in reference to the computer when you're using it.

Directions were great and the worn dc in board was replaced. The hardest part of the procedure is disconnecting the data display cable. A better description of step 21 is to slide the connector parallel to the circuit board towards the outside corner. Reconnecting correctly took several tries.
I used the tip of the spudger to nudge the corners a little at a time to seat the connector.
The ribbon connector for the keyboard has to be inserted all the way before seating the retaining cap. It took me three tries . First try power button did not work second try numbers keys did not work.
Thanks for the directions ...could not have done it with out them!!!

Please read the instructions about removing the bluetooth cable - you CAN work around it, and NOT take off the plug.
