    I assume you mean something like what @alanclarkeau showed in the pictures in his first post in this thread. That's normal.

    Yes, that white one on the right, before the 'mouse-wheel' fan...
    Being normal... Does it not have any maintenance or cleaning procedure?

    Does air even pass through that? Maybe a sound-deadener?

    The 'v' looks nothing like the H/B shown, but here's a YouTube

    If you have to remove the fan to clean, this is a little more in-depth

    If you really want a tool to remove those pop-up fasteners, Amazon sells one for a few dollars.
