• Turn the device upside down to reveal the rubber section of the back plate. Using a metal spudger, carefully wedge the blunt tip into the space between the aluminum back plate and the rubber, separating the two pieces.
• This may take a few minutes to pry the rubber off completely. Once your are able to get a grip on the rubber it is easier to peel it off using your hands.
• Depending on air temperature and how set the adhesive is, you may need to spend some time warming the back plate with a hot plate (on low) or hair dryer.
• Don't worry about re-applying adhesive to the rubber; the remaining adhesive has plenty of strength to affix itself to the aluminum.

• The fan affixed to the back plate is connected to the logic board. A small wire must be detached to fully remove the back plate.
• Pull the base of the wire close to the logic board and the connector will pop off.

• Orientate the back plate so that the fan is facing away from you.
• Use the #0 Phillips Screw Drive to push the rubber shock mounts through the back plate.
• Make sure that the head of the screw driver is centered on the head of the rubber shock mount so that it doesn't slip off causing possible injury.
• When attaching the new fan, push the new rubber shock mounts through the back plate first. Attach the fan once all mounts are inserted.
