Release the fan
  • Detach the adhesive stripe that secures the webcam's and the display's cable to the fan.

  • Disconnect the fan's ribbon connector. It would be better if you would follow this method (step#2) but if you do not properly manage to grab the connector with your fingers, take two pairs of tweezers, grab all the wires as close as possible to the connector ─ as it is shown in pic#2 ─ and resolutely pull them straight up.

  • Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove the two Phillips PM2.5×4.5 screws and group them together.

  • Using a PH#00 screwdriver remove the last Phillips PM2.5×6.5 screw that secure the fan to the top cover. Do not group it together with the two previous screws because it is longer than those.
