Do you really mean never, or just when the computer is running and awake? (I realize you don’t mean to include when the MacBook is actually powered off.) But what about when it is asleep? In my case, and perhaps the OP’s, maybe there’s a broader issue beyond the fan, which is maybe only a symptom. But is the fan supposed to run (inaudibly or otherwise) when an MBP is sleeping? Here’s what I’m dealing with: at the end of the day, I put my MBP in sleep mode or just shut it. It’s sitting on a hard table with nothing blocking vents. I come back the next morning, and the fan is still audibly running, and the machine is warm. But when I open it up, the screen doesn’t immediately come on, so it seems like it is sleeping and hasn’t just be running all night due to failing to go into sleep state. Any ideas? Relatedly, this means any time my laptop isn’t plugged in, it’s discharging the battery, so it has to be plugged in every night. Any ideas?
