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.

Étape 5

Remove the fan from its housing.
The fan may be difficult to get out of the housing, as it is surrounded on three sides by the housing itself and the heatsink. It is not glued or taped in, however, so you can gently pull the cord you just disconnected up to remove the fan from the housing without risk of damaging the cord.
