Taking MacBook into Apple Store to fix the LOUD noise coming from CPU fan….

Going to take MacBook in to fix the loud noise coming from the CPU fan. It is constantly really loud now. I woke up because of the sound at night… The MacBook is 1 year and 4 months old. I’m glad that I got the Applecare Protection Plan else I might be looking at getting a new laptop instead of fixing it.

The problems is the following:

• Very LOUD CPU fan noise (Enough to woke me up at night)
• Problems with SuperDrive – 50% DVD Burning failure (I’ve burned a lot, probably around 600 DVDs)
• Cracks at the corner of the top case
• Sometime the Amber light at MagSafe connector won’t lit up while charging.

UPDATE: Just got back from Apple Store, I got a new 60W MagSafe adapter and Apple took the MacBook in to replace the fan and will check the dvd for the problems. Apple will also replace the top case. They said it will take 3-5 business days to complete. Hopefully I’ll get it back soon, won’t have a computer to use and work for a few days… See the attached Work Authorization…
