Step 2

              The fan               
  • Unplug the flex cable at the bottom left of the fan by flipping up the release tab and pulling. Also remove the two Philips #0 screws (red) securing the fan. The fan should then pull out without too much difficulty
  • If you are doing the other fan from me, the process should remain virtually same.
  • Be careful of the black cable over the top of the fan. It should be seated the same way on the new fan.

              The new fan
