Default Fan removal

I'm having trouble removing a fan. Does anyone know how to remove a processor fan from a Compaq Pressario 5000 series?

You mean remove the entire heat sink from the motherboard? There should be clamps holding the heatsink to the motherboard. Sometimes there are plastic pins that insert into the motherboard that hold the heat sink mount secure. If it's an older celeron, typically the heat sink was held down with an arm that swung to the left to secure and to the right to remove. That's about all I can help with--I googled the computer you mentioned but couldn't really find out what it is like.
