PS2 Fan Dilema
Hey folks! I recently had the smart idea to open up my PS2 FAT cause I wanted to clean up the dust manually.. and the fan connector piece(tiny yellow square on the mobo) accidentally came off! Now my question is... is this it for me? Or can I somehow use electrical tape to connect the fan somewhere else on the console to get its power supply? Soldering is out of the question as I would have to buy a solder machine.

could you take a photo of the board, then the connector, then the spot where the connector was.

Well, if the little white square has came off, and the pins are still there - they you can just clip it back on!
If the pins came off, as well as they broke the traces on the Board, then you screwed.
What you will have to do is, solder the Positive to the Fan Fuse, and the Negative to GND. Forget the Fan Speed Sensor wires, as they will be to hard to trace back to a pinout, especially if they bypass though a regulation or something.
This is pretty hard, but thats what happens when you break things!
Best bet, is to just get a new one if you can not be bothered to look up a Schematic and re-wire it all.
