How does the user remove the fan?
****** BEFORE re-assembly
1- clean material off of cpu (careful!)
-- use a tool with a dull edge to scrape away the thermal conductive paste on the processor and the heat sink (the processor is the chip under the heat sink, the heat sink is the x shaped assembly that is attached to the fan2. apply a fresh coat of NEW thermal paste to the processor, then re-mount the heat sink
-- google "applying thermal paste to CPU" for hints and tips about the right amount of paste to use and the correct ways to apply it.Really bad advice! For anyone who's reading, you DO NOT need to remove the fan (or heatsink)! The motherboard can be removed as a whole. This is a totally unnecessary step.

Samw steps on gen 4, screws just in different places, thie guide worked great! Thanks :)
there's no need to remove the heat sink, SSD and wireless cards - you can just remove the motherboard in 1 piece with these still attached.
Bei der Variante mit integriertem UMTS-Modul die SIM-Karten-Schublade herausnehmen, sonst klemmt die beim Abheben der Gehäuse-Unterseite!
