Sony BDP-S1 Fan Replacement

Remove the 12mm screws with the Philips #2 screwdriver which keep the plastic panels in place.

Don't forget, there are two more 12mm screws on the other side as well.

First, remove the three 12mm black screws holding the top panel on (Phillips #2).

Then, remove the two 12mm black screws - one on each side of the back of the device - holding the top panel on.

Lastly, remove the three 12mm black screws on each side of device.

After gently disconnecting the two ribbon cables (you can just pull them out with your hand), take the top off and set it to the side.

After the top is off, you'll see that there are two metal bars that go across the top of the device.

Remove each bar by unscrewing the two 10mm silver screws on each end.

First we need to unscrew the fan from before we can remove it.

Remove both copper colored 10mm screws with a #2 phillips screwdriver.

As you remove the second screw, pull the fan inward to remove it from the remainder of the case. It should now only be connected to the case through a cable attached to the circuit board.

We will now completely remove the fan from the player.

Carefully detach the cable from the fan to the circuit board by pulling on the cable connecting the fan to the circuit board.

You are now ready to install the new fan!
