Hi all,
So I have a 2017 MacBook Pro. Less than a year of having it, I needed a new logic board (thankfully it was under warranty). Since having the repair though, the fans come on when I'm not really doing anything perhaps browsing the web or initially when on YouTube. Some times they come on only a little bit but other times they come on as though the laptop is going to take off! My laptop also feels warm to the touch. I use an external display and the laptop is closed stood in a stand.
I don't do anything like video editing or rendering - mainly emails and working on documents so nothing too intense. So I wonder if anyone can suggest if there may be an issue with the laptop or if it should do this and didn't before as the logic board needed replacing?
Since the laptop needed repairing I've lost all confidence in it. Comparing to my 2015 MBP, that never makes a noise and never gets hot!
For info, I've reset the SMC before perhaps two or three months ago. Not sure if I should do this again? Does it need to be done more than once?
Thanks in advance.
Ben
