[Disciple-X]

Alright, I chose to fan mod my PS2. I decided that I was not comfortable with the idea that my Slim could actually overheat one day while I'm playing a game. I took everything out of the ps2 housing, did some measuring, and cut a perfect hole into the ps2 slim top and mounted a fan. Well, it all looks nice and professional I thought, so I found a power source for the new fan and did a nice soldering job for its connections. The fan uses the same power source as the mini-fan in the PS2 unit, but the fan I used is two wires... meaning that as long as the unit is plugged in, the fan will run even when the power is off, as the third wire cannot be used for it (I am assuming the third wire is what allows the mini-fan to power on and off with the power/reset switch, and spin up really fast then slow down). I do not keep my console systems plugged in when I am not using them anyways, so this seemed ok to me… I decided it was time to put everything back together. When I started to do this, I noticed the reset/power button cable had some very disfigured silver leads at the end. It was the only reset cable that I had, so I smoothed and flattened the leads as best as I could and then plugged it in to the reset/power button. I forgot that I still had the AC adapter in the back of the PS2, so when I plugged it in, everything immediately cut on for a brief moment and then powered off (must've been pressing down on the power button while plugging in the cable). Well, nothing was working, so I figured I would order a new reset/power cable. I did, it came, and I plugged it in... still no red light or power. Well, now I ordered a replacement reset/power switch, and it should be here eventually. My question is this... is it possible the entire motherboard got fried due to the crummy silver lead connections? Has that happened to anyone if it is possible? Is it very likely at all that could've happen? The fan I added blows air as soon as I plug the unit in, so does that mean the entire board is still getting power, but can not power up due to a damaged reset/power switch? I hope that I do not have to replace the entire unit.
