(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was taking my Ps3 apart when i got to my fan, my fan was attatched to my motherboard and I had the impression I was supposed to detach them. When I detached them the silver things came with the clip. is my Ps3 doomed? how can I fix it? You must login or register to view this content. That's what it looks like.

Thats pretty bad Im not to sure unless your soldering skills are really good you should be able to solder it back on.

Thats a slim.

You need to solder the clip back on.

bummer no can do so

As said by another user, you most likely have to solder it back on... That or you bent a piece of it as you were taking it out.
If you are not on CFW, just buy a CFW then so you get the best of both worlds? That sucks though, be careful!

Thanks everyone for the replies it helps a bunch! Would anyone know how to get the equipment to solder? And how much does it cost? My other question is can the Ps3 operate without it?

Soldering Tools are like $15 on ebay

Your ps3 will not function without it, you will need an solder iron and 3mm solder.
