Remove the four (4) screws from the bottom cover and
remove the bottom cover from the unit. (Fig. 1)

5. Remove the black 1/2 inch top blower foam from the
chassis assembly and discard.
6. Turn the unit top side up and remove the top cover.
7. Using a T-15 driver, remove the screw holding the PC board
