Unfasten the two connections shown.

Unscrew the two screws securing the fan to the laptop. Use a PH1 for the screw that is adjacent to the speaker and a PH0 for the other screw.

Lift up the fan and pull the black plastic tab away from the fan housing. Remove the fan.

Do not remove the metal fan housing. It is taped to a metal heat-sink and should not be removed.
