Step 1

Unplug your fan and place it on its side.
Twist the red plastic piece off from the bottom.
Carefully detach the base from the fan to expose the screws located at the bottom of the fan.

Step 2

Use a TORX Security TR15 screwdriver to unscrew the three 12 mm screws near the bottom of the fan.

Step 3

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove four 12 mm screws on the head of the fan.

Step 4

Use a heavy-duty spudger or opening tool to release the tabs securing the front and back of the fan, then gently pry them apart.
Do this gently because you could break the connectors for the back of the fan.

Step 5

Pull off the back of the fan and set it aside.
Dust the inside of the fan if it is needed.
Be careful when dusting and ensure nothing is knocked out of place.

Step 6

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the two 10 mm screws at the head of the fan.
Remove the two larger 14 mm Phillips #1 screws located below.
Remove the two 10 mm Phillips #1 screws located between the 14 mm screws.

Step 7

Pull the gray cover from the fan to reveal the main board.

Step 8

Carefully hold the edges of the main board and slowly pull it out.

Step 9

Unplug the main board.
Follow the cables connected to the board to the bottom of the fan.

Step 10

Unplug the connector to disconnect the bundle of wires.
Use scissors to cut the zip tie that secures the wires.
Be careful when you cut the zip tie so that you don't accidentally cut the wires.
