Fixing a Old Broken Computer Cooling Fan With a New DC Motor

In this project i will show you how to fix a broken computer fan with a new fan.

I found this computer fan in my junk collection, which was not working. I tried to repair the fan with the same motor but no use, the chip which controls the motor was fried so came up with this Idea of using a new motor.

Step 1: Making Video

You can watch the video of fixing the fan or continue reading for the steps involved.
