Ok, i have this v4 ps2 im trying to repair, when i first got it the fan cords were ripped, so i soldered them back together thinkin that would do the trick but it still didnt work. So i ripped the connector off the motherboard and the connector off the fan, and touched the wires to the contacts on the MB, no go. So im thinkin it has to be a problem with the fan contact on the MB. Is there a fuse of some sort for the fan? If all else fails i assume i can just buy a usb fan for it. Is there really a risk of damaging the ps2 without the fan? I know there prolly is, but it needs a laser readjustment, i was wondering if i could go ahead and do that without the fan working?
Any and all help is appreciated, thanks
