First of all I know nothing about computers. I got a pretty decent hand me down gaming computer. Antec 900 case and some good stuff, not sure sure what exactly (please tell me how I could find out what hardware I have). THE PROBLEM: my uncle is a heavy gamer and heavy smoker, so in my attempt to clean out computer to remove smell I took apart the psu corsair tx750w (yes, ignoring the warranty warning label). I broke the fan connection soldering trying to remove the case (I shoud have removed the fan screws first).
Before my questions I have to say I am not a gamer, I only intend to browse web, sync iphone, watch movies and maybe burn the occasional cd/dvd. So I am not sure if the fan not working is a big deal, considering all I read about the unit being so sophisticated.
1. Can I repair the connections with hot glue, or take it to repair shop to have them solder it back?
2. I had considered just replacing the fan itself with a 3 speed 140mm case fan and plugging it into one of the many connections not being used. Bad idea?
After reading about this psu I realized what a solid unit it is and that I made a big mistake. Oh and I am trying to do it on the CHEAP scale and not have to replace psu.
