Replacing GameCube fan (
Posted: Tue Jun 11, 2019 1:06 am
Hi! So I recently got a cheap GameCube with a bunch of accessories and after a couple of days test-driving it the started shutting down. I thought it could be a bad power adapter, however, I just noticed the fan is not moving at all so it should be an overheating problem.
Swapping out the fan is easy enough, I know it has to be a slim 50mm 12V part, but I'm having problems with amperage... Stock fans are noted to be 0.05 or 0.06 and I'm having problems finding that exact number, so my question is how high can I go in amp without causing damage to the console? Would a 0.15A fan cause damage?
I know I can get another console pretty cheap, but I wouldn't wanna get rid of an otherwise perfectly fine console when it can be easily fixed.
P.S. The only reason I'm asking is because I'm having problems finding a fan with the exact amperage
