following steps:
1. Remove the display assembly.
2. Remove the keyboard.
3. Remove the heat-sink fin cover.
4. Remove the 5-mm screw securing the fan cover.
5. Remove the fan cover.
6. Disconnect the fan cable from connector J6 on the system board.

the fan indicates that the flow of air is from the outside of the computer in to the board.
