Hi, pease help, I hope this is the right group: my old macbookair, who run perfectly for many years, decided to give up. The fan started making a scary rattling sound, and it overheats immediately, I bet it s the fan, and apple diagnostics gives this result 4MOT/4/40000002: Exhaust 259
I am now travelling in the middle of nowhere, and with urgent work to finish, is there anything that I can try before I do the one day trip back to civilisation? I don t have here the tiny screw to open the mac and maybe clean the fan or something...
Thank you very much
