soldvit Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hi Guys! I have a problem with my macbook. Few months ago I replaced my spilled keyboard and after that iSight camera doesn't works anymore. Today I decided do fix it. After disassembly I noticed that there is some deformed pins in camera/wifi connector. I fixed that and after booting my mac I was surprised - the camera works. I make a FaceTime call and camera really works great, without any problems. But later i noticed that CPU fan spins at max (sounds noisy) and CPU runs at only 796 MHz all the time. I was trying to boot with unplugged camera connector but it doesn't helps. Please tell, what can I do with it. Thanks.

Lotustar Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Could be a sensor problem. After a liquid spill there really is no telling. I'm assuming you are getting your fan reading from iStat? I would try downloading smcfancontrol and set the speed a bit lower as long as you temps arent too high.

I`ve tryed it now few times but not succeed. I`m also made a PRAM reset and after that my mac boots in system recovery. Could be a sensor problem. After a liquid spill there really is no telling. I'm assuming you are getting your fan reading from iStat? I would try downloading smcfancontrol and set the speed a bit lower as long as you temps arent too high. I`m getting CPU info in CPU-Z under bootcamped Windows 7. BTW iStat has same optional functions as smcfancontrol. Thanks for your reply.

Kennyman Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I would suggest to replace the thermal paste and then do a pram reset. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/297441-problem-with-macbook-pro-13-2009-a1278/#findComment-2013050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldvit Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 I would suggest to replace the thermal paste and then do a pram reset. Thanks man. Thermal paste is pretty fresh and PRAM reset doesn`t helped. I was already lost any hope to fix it by myself but I decided to do a final strike I`ve just disassembled macbook, clean the motherboard, assembled it and OMG... it works fine so far. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/297441-problem-with-macbook-pro-13-2009-a1278/#findComment-2013052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
