MacBook Air 2011

Good afternoon,

I've got MacBook Air (2011 model). Since yesterday I've started to have these issues with it:

1. when the laptop is on, the fan is working very loudly non-stop

2. the battery indicator shows that there is no battery (although I certainly did not take it out) with MagSafe connected to it or without

3. when in sleep mode, the laptop keeps working

4. except for the above-described problems, the laptop seems to be working well (I am writing this letter from it)

What would you recommend regarding all this?

Thank you very much in advance!

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Hi...!!

Reset your SMC.....Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support

Or else, reset your NVRAM.....How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

And see if it works...

Remove your login items. They may trigger the fan high during initial startup..... System preferences > Users and groups > Login items tab then click on “ - “ to remove the ones which you don’t want to start at the start up..

Hope this helps.....

Thank you so much for your answer!

It worked for a while, then fan started to work loudly again. Guess will have to bring it to the service place.
