    • The fan is connected by a 5 pin port. Remove this by gently prying out the fan's port using your fingers or a plastic prying tool.

    • The pin port can be very delicate. Any major bending or twisting can cause permanent damage to the port, and may leave it unable to work.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
