    So the fan died. The system overheated on me. I don't want to let that happen again. I dont see many people selling replacement PS2 Slim fans. What are my options? I am considering buying a similar size fan like 45mm or 50mm, and soldering fan's wires to an appropriate source of power inside. The original fan connector is too small for me to really work with. I know that the USB ports can power fans, so I may just run the ground and 5v power to one of them, from inside the system so it doesnt show. Any ideas?

    Bought a new fan. It didnt fix it. So somehow the motherboard must not be supplying power to the fan connector. I dunno what to do now...
