Description

The MacBook Pro 17″ (Model A1261) Right Thermal Sensor is a small component located on the right side of the logic board of the laptop. It is responsible for monitoring the temperature of the laptop’s internal components, such as the CPU and GPU, and sending this information to the laptop’s system management controller (SMC).

The right thermal sensor is designed to work in conjunction with the left thermal sensor, which is located on the left side of the logic board. Together, these sensors help the SMC to regulate the laptop’s temperature and prevent overheating, which can cause damage to the internal components.

If the right thermal sensor is not functioning properly, the laptop may experience issues such as unexpected shutdowns or the fans running at high speed for extended periods of time. It is important to replace a faulty thermal sensor as soon as possible to prevent damage to the laptop.

The right thermal sensor for the MacBook Pro 17″ (Model A1261) is a small, rectangular component that is attached to the logic board with adhesive. It is important to use a replacement thermal sensor that is specifically designed for this laptop model to ensure proper fit and function. It is recommended that the replacement be done by a qualified technician, as opening the laptop and replacing the thermal sensor requires specialized tools and expertise.
