Introduction

    • Turn off the laptop.

    • Disconnect the charging cable.

    • Failure to disconnect the charging cable and power down the computer could result in personal or property damage.

    • Flip the laptop so the back is facing up.

    • Insert the plastic opening tool at a corner and pry up along the edges, leaving the back side with the hinges for last.

    • Do not insert the opening tool too far into the laptop to avoid damaging internal components.

    • Gently lift up the back panel to release any remaining clips on the side with the hinges and remove the panel.

    Recommend a step here to unplug the battery internally. I discovered that you can short out the display ribbon cable pretty easily if you don't have it perfectly aligned with the connector bracket. It led to one of my pins being fried black and a gross deposit in the connector. Still seems to work though.

    • With a Phillips 0-bit screwdriver, remove eight 5.0 mm screws on the silver brackets

    • With a Phillips 0-bit screwdriver, remove two 5.0 mm screws holding the edge of the fans in place

    There are three additional 5mm screws holding the fans in; the left fan has one on the bottom left, and the right fan has one on the upper right and another on the bottom right
