    Awesome step!

    Step 2 I did not realize that the pictures to the right were enlarged for easier understanding of the step. Great walk through even a 66 year old man could understand and do it. Got the I Fix It tools which made opening the case and working with the tiny screws a breeze.

    • Lift up the black tab next to the silver ribbon cable.

    • Pull lightly on the blue tabs until the silver cable is free.

    Before doing anything here I would highly recommend disconnecting the buttery. I didn't do it myself at the beginning and when removing this ribbon cable I caused sparks going off the right connector.

    Great suggestion, Alex! This guide should now reflect a safer and more accurate procedure. Thanks for the heads-up.

    To clarify: you need to flip up the black plastic tab of the recepticle, not the cable. Then don't pull the blue tab up, you need to angle it up just a little bit, about 15 degrees, then slide the cable out.

Is it possible to replace the fan only without removing the full heatsink or is it fused together as one unit?
