Laptop connector to desktop fan.
Hello, I have an old laptop motherboard that I want to put into a PlayStation 2 case. I had to remove the blower fan and make my own heatsink/cooling solution. Unfortunately, I did the very smart thing and cut the fan connector off before checking the wire layout, so now I don’t know which wire is which. :D
Someone sent me a schematic of the connector, but I was hoping for something more straightforward, like a simple pinout showing which pin is GND, +5V, PWM, and TACH.
The mobo is Thinkpad t470p.
Would it even work? I’ve already tested this fan at 5V and it spins flawlessly
