Are you trying to remove the fan from the heatsink or the heatsink from the board?

that looks exactly like a CPU fan/heatsink that was in a dell Vostro. When I took it out, all you had to do is unscrew the screws.... a fricken lot. When you think you're done unscrewing, you just have to keep going. lol.

ouch. lol. Try taking the mobo out and then pull it as you're unscrewing it. Try to figure out why it's not coming out there.
