Can't say for sure, did you try my suggestion about the fan controller to see if it is a fan? _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

No. not 100%... but if you got a positive SMART verification.. it is a very good sign. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== It appears that autocorrect has become my worst enema. ---

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 11341 Loc: Columbus OH	Originally Posted By: jerryfox3 I downloaded this app and the fan seems to be good. So you increased the speed of the fan to say around 3000 RPM and the noise didn't get faster or change speed? If it didn't it appears it is the hard drive making the noise then, probably not a good sign. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

That would definitely narrow it down. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== It appears that autocorrect has become my worst enema. ---

That's why I suggested it but I'm still waiting to see his results from the test instead of the guessing that's been going on. Don't know why he hasn't tried it yet. There is a method to my madness. Most of the time. Eliminate what it's not first. Then examine what's left. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
