Step 4
Lift out the fan CAREFULLY and detach the cable that
connects the fan to the motherboard.
When detaching the cable, do not pull on the
cable itself. Instead, use a small spudger to
detach it at the white section that connects it to
the motherboard.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
