    • Use a JIS #1 screwdriver to loosen the five spring screws located at the middle of the fan piece.

    • Remove the plastic covering after the screws have been loosened.

    • Spring screws will stay attached to the cover.

    There were 6 holding the heat sink on when I did it.

    • Lift the fans out of their positions and remove them from the device.

    Don't forget to pick up thermal paste so you get a good contact between the CPU and GPU and the heat sinks!
