MacBook Pro fan works ONLY with Macs Fan Control

Post by hmalissa »

The fan of my MacBook Pro (mid 2009) works very well when I use Macs Fan Control - which is great - but the fan doesn't do anything when I'm not running Macs Fan Control. Somehow the firmware (?) that usually controls the fan seems to be not working correctly. On the other hand, there doesn't seem to be a mechanical issue with the fan itself.
Is there a solution for this? Macs Fan Control is great, and I don't mind using it, but it would be good if I could get my MacBook Pro to control the fan itself.
