  • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the fan cable connector up off its socket on the logic board.

  • It is useful to twist the spudger axially from beneath the fan cable wires to release the connector.

Be careful not to break the plastic fan socket off the logic board as you use your spudger to lift the fan connector straight up and out of its socket. The layout of the logic board shown in the second picture may look slightly different than your machine but the fan socket is the same.
