Having issues with my fans

One appears to have died already, the other isn't functioning very well.
Before this the fans would be running with extreme differences.
I would take it to a repair shop if there were a place in town that works on Macs, unfortunately there isn't.
What exactly can I do to either fix this or should I just get a new computer.

Re: Having issues with my fans

What Mac do you have? What what do you mean by running with differences? Have you opened the Mac and blown out the fans with some compressed air?

Re: Having issues with my fans

I had a Mac Book Pro.
I had a widget that lets me monitor the fans, I don't know how many rpms it actually is, but it was saying one fan was running at 60, while the other was at like 3 or 4.
I would have to look it up to see what that actually meant for RPM.
I have tried the compressed air, no luck.

Re: Having issues with my fans

The way Mac notebooks are, you will have to send it to Apple for repair. Sad but true.
