I have a 2011 13" macbook pro that I purchased off of Kijiji. The person said that there was water damage. I opened it up and found a couple of spots that were corroded and I cleaned them with alcohol. The laptop works flawlessly with one problem. The fan is running full speed. Obviously something wrong with the sensor. Is it possible to connect a small resistor into the power feeding the fan to slow it down?
Got a tip for us?

If the sensor isn't faulty and your fan is spinning up without increased heat, try resetting the SMC.
