To be fair, sometimes the plugs are really freaking hard to pull out. Even if you use isopropyl on the connector sometime they are pretty stubborn. I ripped a ps4 pro connector for the PSU (and fixed it after) still don’t know why it was so hard to pull 🤷‍♂️

[@MicroMageRepair]

They are incredibly weak. I haven't pulled one off the board yet, know how to finesse them a bit. Still I've wondered a few times if today is the day 😂.

[@Samsemillya]

Actually thinking about it, maybe the sorrounding of the connector got hot, so the plastic fused a little together? I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

[@MicroMageRepair]

They just fit snug. If only they were bonded to the board as snugly 🤣

[@Samsemillya]

@@MicroMageRepair yeah, in my case the psu was broken, maybe some higher current made the contacts fuse 🤷‍♂️ anyway nice job

I need help on how to repair a PS5 slim fan connector to the motherboard

[@D_Ro19]

I just done know where the traces run it's different then the original PS5

[@MicroMageRepair]

You can email me at [e-mail]. Send a few clear images and I may be able to decipher it for you. I haven't personally seen the slim yet.
