Playstation 2 Fan replacement

hi recently my playstation 2 would suddenly power off and the power light would rapidly flash red
and i dont hear the fan working any more could someone kindly direct me to where i can buy a NEW fan compatible
with the FAT V7 Playstation 2 preferably one that runs at 300+ RPM rather then the stock 2000 RPM

 

If I had to guess, it's a standard PC fan. It's either a 40mm, 50mm, or 60mm fan. I had some 80mm fans lying around and they are as tall as the fat PS2, so it is most likely a 50mm or 60mm fan. You can get them on Amazon.com and RadioShack still sells 40mm fans, perfect for Dreamcast repairs and overclocked N64s.

 

hthis guy used a 60mm, 12v fan. as for the speed, you could maybe add a rheostat and tune it to your liking.

 

So it is a 60mm after all. I had a feeling it would be one.

 

thanks for the help it never hurts to be sure you never know if sony rigged things 60mm 12v fan 3 pin got all i need thank you

 

Your welcome and if it isn't standard PC connections, you could solder the new fan directly to the mobo.

 

If you're worried about the sound, you can solder one of these to then fan's wires and then you can turn it down by turning down the voltage (by turning the screw on the blue potentiometer)... you'd have to find a place you could tape/glue it in place though. Just throwing that out there.

Better than my rheostat suggestion I guess, as long you can find the room for it.

 

Don't forget the fan width. IIRC it's 60x15mm.

 

Did the fan stop spining ? You likely blew it's fuse by letting the wire latch with the metal cage.
