Disassembling PowerMac G4 M5183 Main Fan

Step 1 Opening PowerMac G4 M5183 Case



• Pull on outer latch.
• Lower door until it is level with your work surface.
• Before working on the computer make sure it is not plugged into a power supply, then touch a metal object. This discharges static electricity, which could damage the computer.

• The fan housing will still be connected to the computer by a power cable which will be removed in the next step.
Step 3
• Remove the power cable from the fan and detach bracing.
Step 4 Main Fan
• To fully remove the fan, unfasten the 4 screws on the front of the bracing using the Phillips #2 screwdriver.
