Hi everyone, welcome to HowFixit. In this video guide, I gonna show you how
to replace a fan on MacBook Pro 15 model A1398 ( Year of release 2013, 2014, 2015)
To disassemble MacBook Pro 15 model A1398 you will need the following tools:
Screwdriver set Pentalobe 1.2mm screwdriver
Torx T5 screwdriver Plastic opening tools
Tweezers
I also recommend using a magnetic mat during the repair process, which is especially useful in case
of MacBook Pro 15 model A1398. Throughout this disassembly, keep track of each screw so you can
put them back in the right places - this will help successfully reassemble your device. And
don't worry about losing any of screws, all of them will definitely remain on the magnetic mat.
In the description, I left links where to buy all necessary tools.
Turn the laptop over and remove all the screws on the bottom cover.
Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard.
Use only a plastic tool to lift the battery power connector.
If the fan is very noisy or doesn't work at all - you need to replace the fan.
You can find a compatible fan for the replacement part number 610-0194-A and 610-0191-A
Also, in the description, I left a link where you can buy new fan for MacBook Pro 15
