I just replace my hard drive on my imac and now when i turn the computer on the fan starts running and keeps getting louder. How do i turn it off?
thanks.
If your machine was made after 2009 you probably installed th wrong HD. Beginning in 2009 Apple began using HD's that had an integrated fan sensor. If you did not use one of these drives then that is the problem. You should contact OWC (www.macsales.com) or visit your local AASP and they will help you select the correct HD to use.
I didnt install it. I had it done at the apple store.
Oh, OK thats very good! Reset the SMC, this may take two-three attempts. Simply shut down, unplug the power cord from the wall and computer for 15-20 seconds and restart. If that does not work take it back to the Apple Store immediately.
Thanks. I have done that a few times over the past couple of days. I will be call the store back today and see if they will have a look.
thanks.
