820-3536 (Fan spin)

Have a Macbook pro retina 820-3635-05

Issue:
- Fan runs high
- keyboard spacebar doesn't work

troubleshoot:
  1. Have checked all current sense, everything seems fine.
  2. Also, checked around the Fan connector, it seems fine also.
  3. Changed the SMC from a 820-4924 Could this be the issue?

What could be the issue?

Very likely...
3476 SMC should work instead.

Thanks Master.. I switched the SMC and now the fan stopped running. Although I don't think this SMC is working properly, so I place an order for more new ones. Once I have them I will revert back to this thread. Im sure though it will work once I have the new one in.

Many thanks once again. Always amazing support here on this forum.
