Well I’ve failed.

I’ve tried to replace the right hand side fan on my Macbook Pro, and I’ve failed.

The right hand fan has been grinding for the past few months (well about six actually), and on Thursday I finally ordered a replacement right hand side fan. The fan turned up today (late I might add). Then I relaised that I didn’t have the really small Phillips screwdriver at work.

When I got home tonight, I started to take apart the laptop, but I still don’t have all the tools. I STILL need to find a Torx T6 screwdriver. I’ve tried Homebase, and found a Maplins which I didn’t know was near by. But the smallest Torx head I can find is a T8. I guess I will try and find one at the weekend. A trip to PC World looks like it might be in order.
