    • Keep your Apple warranty by disconnecting the battery and DO NO TOUCH any electronic parts and chips ! Also touch any metal item to unload the body static.

I’d be careful about using a vacuum cleaner on the inside of the computer as it can cause static discharge and zap your components.

@laomusicarts do you know where I might be able to get an HD-74501 screwdriver. New or Used?

Since my 2008 Macbook Pro has been overheating for a while I tried this. Unfortunately everything inside is quite clean: no dust in the fans or heat-sinks.

The fans run quite well , and get going pretty fast as the device heats up. Any other ideas are welcome, This was a GREAT machine and I miss using it.

Try replacing the thermal paste, did that and my mbp mid 2010 works perfectly! Dosent even have to be expensive paste, I just used some chinesse one and it worked perfectly!

I now see about 78-82C of temperature with the fans making a small amount of noise. Before I saw from 90-98C and the fans were at 100% almost constantly.

Hope this helps!
