The ps5 had a seriously ripped fan connector. The pads were completely gone. I had to use 0.1mm enamel opper wire so I can point to point wire the signal pin to the PCB.
The issue is when there’s no fan connected I get a nice pwm signal on my scope. But when I plug a supposedly brand new fan, the signal disappears.
Why?
Are the 12V present at the connector if the fan is plugged in?
Yes it’s there. Thats why am confused.
I compared the replacement fan with the supposedly broken fan. The replacement appears to make the signal disappear. The original that come with the ps5 shows a pwm signal but refuses to spin.
Where can I buy a replacement fan that I can trust? I don’t have another spare ps5 to do a fan swap on
