Remove the following part before you begin:

Tools

  • Adjustable torque driver (10–34 Ncm)

  • Nylon probe (black stick)

  • Support wedge for tilt-adjustable stand

  • Support wedge for tilt- and height-adjustable stand

  • Torx T5 bit

Removal

Important

Ensure that the support wedge is between the housing and the stand to keep the display in place.

  1. Use the T5 screwdriver to remove the six T5 screws (923-07140) from the fan.

  2. Use the black stick to gently release the adhesive between the fan flex cable and the housing as shown.

    • Note: Releasing the adhesive provides more space to disconnect the cable from the back of the fan.

  3. Lift the fan from the bottom, away from the speaker.

  4. Lower the fan away from the top of the housing.

  5. Rotate the fan to directly access the fan flex cable connector.

  6. Use ESD-safe tweezers to peel back the adhesive cover on the fan flex cable connector. Then use the black stick to flip up the locking lever.

  7. Slide the end of the fan flex cable out of the connector. Then remove the fan from the housing.

Reassembly

  1. Position the fan so the fan flex cable can reach the connector on the back of the fan. Then slide the end of the flex cable into the connector.

  2. Use the black stick to flip down the locking lever on the fan flex cable. Reapply the adhesive cover. Then rotate the fan toward the housing.

  3. Insert the fan into the housing from the top.

  4. Position the top part of the fan next to the speaker. Then position the lower part of the fan into the housing.

  5. Use the T5 screwdriver to partially reinstall the six T5 screws (923-07140).

  6. Insert the Torx T5 bit into the 10–34 Ncm adjustable torque driver. Set the torque value to 17.5 Ncm.

  7. Use the adjustable torque driver and Torx T5 bit to fully reinstall the six T5 screws.

  8. Press the fan flex cable to adhere it to the housing.
