PS3 Slim , Fan Mod went horribly wrong

hi members , i got a PS3 Slim in today and it was as simple fix as reformatting the Hard Drive i was really stoked so i decided to do a Fan Mod and things went horribly wrong.


i got the POT connected up and fired the PS3 on all seemed good i cranked the POT and it got to a point and the PS3 shut off and i smelled a burning smell , after that all i get when connecting the power cable is a dim red LED if i press power it turns green ( still dim ) but i get no video.


really bummed , from a high to a extreme low


any suggestions welcome on how to bring this PS3 from the dead

 

Probably burnt out a fuse or melted some wire maybe

got some photos

 

hi LeHaM , what would you like photos of the PSU ?


btw i got the DMM out before and i tested the PSU Pin 1+2 it comes up 5.5V which is a good sign , although i havent tested 12V mode.

i just checked the cable that goes from the PSU to the Motherboard for continuity and it comes up good , also it doesnt have any burn marks on it


btw when i smelled the burn smell it was really quick , i got the PS3 and put it up to my nose and couldnt get a whiff of where the burning had come from

 

Yeah pics of the psu and motherboard, especially around the 12v points and fan connector, there should be some aluminium caps near the fan header.

 

hi again , i did some inspection and couldnt find any burn marks myself but i did take one photo of the bottom of the MB and found i think are fuses..............F6304 and F6305


if you need any more pics let me know

Those are fuses so use a multimeter and check every fuse, there are some thermal fuses marked on the mobo as THxxxx there should be a few, check them too.

 

i just checked the Fuses marked Fxxxx and THxxxx they came up ok , i used the ohms setting on my DMM nothing went below 0.1 bummer

 

ive done some more probing and found that i usually get 0.2 for everything but when i probe the below i get 1.5 also im having a bit of difficulty locating TH6002
