PS2 fan replacement. I need McGuyver
I have the lid removed from my version 4 PS2 always. After I shocked myself on one of the copper coils, the fan wouldn't spin anymore, even after replacing it. I replaced the fuse on the power supply even though it wasn't broken. Still nothing. I've heard there's something really tiny on the motherboard that needs replacing, but I can't solder.
I need a way to power some kind of a fan like an 80 or 120mm fan with juice from the PS2. Anyone have any ideas? |

Does the PS2 turn on and run without the fan being on, or are you worried about overheating? |

Well, you could go ghetto...
I'll get back to you on this. :EDIT: Could you buy a busted PS2 on ebay, and hawk the part you need? Or do you not have any idea what part you need? |

However, I saw a guy's post on another forum where he soldered the fan's wires to the large pins that connect the PSU to the motherboard. He then duct-taped the fan to the back of the PS2. It was kind of LOL, but it would work for me, considering the fan would be mounted on top of the heatsink, and not on the back of the case. I guess once I figure out the what voltages are what on the fan and PSU pins, I can just go ahead and do this. |
