Jammed a Dell laptop mobo into a PS1 for fun really, screen had cracked off the case and I was going to semi mod it into a ps1.
I need help on two things,
One the power switch is in a very poor spot, was wondering if i could re-route it. It is a circle push button switch with four pins soldered to the board. Two top two bottom. Possible I could just desolder this and branch it with four thin wires? I don't see why not.
Two is a fan problem, it is a three pin connecting header from mobo to heatsink fins I was wondering if I would pop on a corsair 12v fan into this or if it would blow the header.....
more detailed explanation..... say the header supplys ... 5v... If I placed the 12v fan onto this with a splice would the fan try to pull the 12v and blow the header ... or would it stop itself/run on the 5v instead?
Hope i cleared my questions up a bit.
Also I pulled the mobo and before i could recall to write down the model for the dell I left and trashed the case... does the mobo have a spot to show model? I
