So far, I haven't been able to get them to stop unless I (completely) shut down the computer.Īgain, this has happened regardless of whether the lid is open or closed, regardless of whether I have external monitors connected or not. I wake the computer by tapping the keyboard, the desktop re-appears and all's well and responsive, but the fans stay running at maximum. the metal area just above the keyboard), and they were COLD! So, it appears the fans were truly running on their own at maximum for no reason.
The strangest thing: the Mac is NOT HOT! For example, the lid will be open hours after I used the Apple menu to go into sleep mode, the fans start just running all by themselves (they take time, note, to spin up before reaching a very loud maximum), I check the 'hot spots' with my fingertips (any MBP owner knows where this is. This can take place regardless of whether the lid is closed. Runs great, but for one problem: occasionally, hours after I put the MBP into 'sleep' mode, the fans will start running all by themselves, and their speed will steadily increase until the noise is raging.
My MBP is an officially refurbished, bought from Apple, 2015 model 15-inch, running the latest El Capitan (I have my reasons for avoiding Sierra for the time being).
