Unscrew the two 9mm Phillips #1 screws that secure the fan in place.
Disconnect the fan header from the motherboard of the laptop.
The fan header has many small wires sleeved together. To avoid ripping the wires out of the connector, wiggle the connector out of place instead of pulling straight up on it.
