    You have to disassemble the whole laptop. Take out the LCD, top cover and motherboard.

    The fan is basically under the motherboard, it has no outside access.

    You need to take out all the screws in the bottom.
    Then loosen the wlan cables, turn laptop around and take the keyboard out.
    Continue to remove wlan cables and display/webcam cables so they are loose, then take the display off.

    Now you can take away the top cover and you see the motherboard. Take away the couple screws keeping the motherboard in place and you can lift it off... now you can get to the fan.
