- Unplug the computer
- Lay it on it's side --- look at the bottom for an arrow that shows you what side is UP. (The power cord will be on the bottom, near the floor)
- Push BOTH release buttons and lift the back of the case UP
- Once it releases you can let go of the button and continue to lift the case up.
- You'll see the fan, release the clips to remove it.
