One of our cheap USB desk fans has blown its PWM chip - a tiny, 6-pin SOT-23 device. I've bypassed the board so the fan runs.

The chip's on AE @ 10 for 95p. I know dismantling the fan again, removing the PCB and using a heat gun to remove/replace the chip will be hassle, but it's gotta be done! https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0c9e326b79ab7a99143aedfad7816891f7af4703cc3b5fa33f6632d70428d9af/199c404c662460912ac8ee7e02f582e719bcf872135ca6e1080da4e06eeee9bb.webp https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0c9e326b79ab7a99143aedfad7816891f7af4703cc3b5fa33f6632d70428d9af/5b609ef316b33c99dcbb17125d47252997e8d6be8be5325e0c63c7192dc38bac.webp
