Hello. The keyboard ribbon cable is glued down to the cooling fan, how to I remove it safely?

Here is a image of how it is supposed to look like:

As you can see, the cable is glued down to the fan. I've never brought this to a repair shop before, this is how it came out from production.

The fan has died and I need to replace it, but the only way for me to do so is to unplug that cable.


Thanks in advance!
 
You can remove the cable from the clip then just slowly peel it up. You can try using some heat from a hair dryer to loose the glue.
