Power cord to power plug circuit board
Fan screws
There are three screws keeping the fan into place with the heatsink. Two of them can be easily removed, the third one due to poor motherboard design layout needs you to completely remove the heatsink in order to unscrew it. This is why you also need to re-apply the thermal paste.

If you are adding the bluetooth module please remember that despite the modules themselves being all compatible the bluetooth cable and plug differ from pavilion model to model. In the picture is portrayed a dv6000 socket, but for example dv2000 sockets are different (more thick and narrow) and are placed in a different position on the motherboard (under the touchpad).
