Hi Guys, I am having problem with my iMac HDD fan. If I run something requiring high graphic usage like Video Rendering or Gaming, it will make a noisy fan sound and then the performance will drop drastically.

I have done the Hardware test and the error msg confirms it is the HDD Fan.

Can anybody share to me, what is the price of repairing it at Apple or whether i shall opt to repair it myself?

My Apple magic keyboard started having Shift and Enter button ghostly pressed.

I have pull the key cap but still issue.

How much do you think the damage to send for repair? is it common?
