  • is there anyway to check this for fat ps3? after a ylod fix it doesn't even light up red anymore so i'm not sure if its a loose/faulty connection, bad psu, bad power switch, or damaged motherboard

  • @7BEG Not directly from the 5 pin DC output, there are 3 pins on the fan: one has 12Volts supplied to it, the second is variable voltage to control fan speed (like a transistor), and third is ground.

  • @QuagmiresGiggity hi.. if you want to use the DC outlet for the fan.. is there any necesary conection on the 5 pin jack?

  • is 12v minimum for it to run probably? i get around 11.96v is close enough for an 80gb model?

  • hey! I just did this and the multimeters says 25V is that ok???? also i hear a click when i turn it on, and another click before it turns off, is that normal????

  • dude there is soooooo many problems with your method. your only checking the fan what about the 5.5volts that go to the board itself

  • @gregtheham when you are looking @ the main board 5 pin plug's exposed side it should be from right to left:

    1 +5V

    2 +5V

    3 GND

    4 GND

    5 +3V

  • Dou you know which pins on the 5 pin P/S jack are used for control of the 12VDC output of the PS?

    I.E. testing SMPS WITHOUT pluging it in to the PS3 Motherboard may be possible, if the 5 pin connector is used for feedback to turn the SMPS's 12vdc rail on... I believe there is +5vdc (and maybe -5vdc) on the 5 pin connector, but I cannot find a schematic or pinout diagram for the PS3 power supply...do you have any more info on voltages and control signal info for pinouts for the PS3 SMPS?

  • thanks, I'm gonna try this
