    • Separate the clips at the front and the overhanging side from their mounting using a Prying Tool.

    • Separate the two halves.

    • Pull the ribbon cable straight out from the socket.

    • To reinstall the cable, hold it near the end and push it straight into the connector, being careful not to kink the cable. If you can, apply the force to the plastic reinforcement rather than the cable itself.

    • Remove three Phillips #0 screws securing the fan.

    • Lift the fan straight up and out of the PS2.
