I'm considering attempting this repair. I am curious as to why the instructions direct me to remove the battery before removing the fan. From the pictures shown above, it does not appear that battery is mechanically blocking the removal of the fan. Is the purpose of this step to remove a phisical impedance, or is the reason to remove power from the he device?
