Carefully unwind the black cable that runs between the top of the battery and the bottom of the fan from the grooves along the side of the fan.
In order to do so, you will need to pull up the metallic tape that holds the cable in place using either your fingers or a plastic prying tool to lift up the edge.
If you attempt to remove the device’s fan without removing the battery, the black cable may be wedged underneath the top of the battery. In this scenario, it is recommended that you at least loosen the screws holding the battery in place to allow for the cable to be removed with less resistance.
