| Jun 9, 2022 at 15:56 | comment | added | silsil | Well this macbook is basically new and quite expensive (looking back, it's a bummer I didn't get extended coverage). I only used it for a little over 6 months, so I guess for me replacing the motherboard or getting a new one is not an option. I'll see what they suggest at the Apple Store and update you all here! | |
| Jun 9, 2022 at 13:48 | comment | added | Saaru Lindestøkke | Well, that's pretty clear then. Going to the Apple Store for a replacement is definitely an option, but in my vicinity they are always trying to upsell hard. Last time I wanted a simple battery replacement to regain capacity. After a week long (free) diagnostic session they decided that replacing the motherboard would be better, but that's quite expensive, so I could just as well look at the newer models, etc.... I went to another repair shop, they swapped the battery in 30 minutes. Just a heads up. | |
| Jun 9, 2022 at 12:16 | comment | added | silsil | Hi @SaaruLindestøkke, Apple diagnostics tells me "There may be an issue with the fan", and gives Reference code PPF003, and additional reference code PPF004 | |

| Jun 9, 2022 at 10:12 | comment | added | Saaru Lindestøkke | Can you check apple diagnostics to see if it reports anything? My feeling is that the fan unit is broken. I'm not sure how easy it is to replace a fan in a 2020 MBP, but I've done it in a 2009 model which was fairly easy. A replacement fan was around 30 euros back then. | |
