PS5 Fan Connector Repair

[@aurthorthing7403]

I got a couple rolls of copper tape that I use to make new pads and stuff like that. It's a lot thinner and easier to work with than solder braid.

How thick is it? I have some that I thought about using but given that this is a 12 volt line, wire seemed like a safer bet. It was surprising to discover that based on 12V ~.2 amps requires far heavier than 34 AWG at least according to what I could find.

@@GoCellPhoneRepairIt's not as thick as aluminum tape for duct work. It's about like medium grade aluminum foil. I got it a long time ago and it doesn't have any info on it. I think you can get different thicknesses? Surely you can.

I think MicroMadge Repairs also uses copper tape for these types of repairs as well.

i thought bro was under water by the thumbnail

That’s funny. Also really annoying that KZbin won’t let me set a custom thumbnail and this is what they picked.

What flux do you use?

I've been using 2UUL from Union Repair for the last couple months. Mechanic No. 225 is also good.
