Recently, my 40GB fat PS3 got RLOD and it happened twice and found that the fan connector was broken. At first, I'm tried to fix it by wiring these fan cables with the USB cable, but too bad the fan speed was really slow and it might have an another YLOD soon because my console is already fixed from YLOD issue months ago. Then, I came up with an idea of wiring these fan cables with 12v supply from external desktop HDD head because it still have a molex pin cable on it.
So, what I'm gonna do is to connect black wire from fan with the black wire from the molex pin cable, only one black wire has to be connected and the other one need to be cut off alongside with red wire. Then, I'm combine grey wire with brown wire and then connect it with yellow wire as well. After that, I'm plugging in the molex pin cable into the external desktop HDD head and switch in on and it producing a damn noisy sound from the fan, at least it fixes the RLOD issue.
