    Please do not miss this warning of it being sharp...
    After opening a few laptops for my office, I have generally been fine. But after opening my own XPS... I had sliced my finger badly.

    • Remove two 4.3 mm screws from the left fan and one 4.3 mm screw from the right fan using a JIS #000 screwdriver.

    I had to remove three screws in total to remove the right fan. One that is circled in the image above, and two more which hold the small black bracket to the right of the right fan. This bracket, while seemingly there to protect/secure a ribbon cable, also secures the right fan. Perhaps the guide should be corrected to account for this? or maybe there are multiple variants.

This guide is incomplete. Step 13 shows removing the heatsink, then step 14 is removing the touchpad, but it's a missing a HUGE series of steps in between which is removing the motherboard to access the touchpad. As-is this guide is not usable.
