Introduction
After +/- 3 years of 24/7, the fan of the particle meter has worn out. The fan is making a terrible noise.
Tools

When removing the screen with the suction handle and a jimmy be very careful at the right side of the screen and don't damage the connection like I did. See red circle.
-
Carefully remove the screen towards the front. The screen is clued with some tape, see the orange marker.
-
Maybe use some heat to soften the clue.

I used a combination of a suction pad and Jimmy.

Disconnect the flat cable of the touch sensor by lifting the little black ledge, see the orange circle.

One comment
Thank you for the guide! The part number for a replacement sensor appears to be PMS7003. There are some minor cosmetic differences but it appears to function correctly. I would suggest conducting a calibration routine / making sure the sensor is exposed to exterior air a few times over the next few days.
