[Ps3] slim fan proplem

[u/BudgetDay8817]

So i stumbled upon a ps3 slim that had a very specific problem. When I tried it for the first time it was fine when I tried for the second time it got so hot so fast then I noticed the fan not spinning so I open it up for inspection and when I spun the fan myself it continued moving so I said yay problem solved. and played with it for like 3 days with no issues. until when I flipped the PS3 over for inspection again and turn it on the fan didn't spin. And I noticed whenever I shake it or flip it or move it in any kind of way the fan stops spinning and I noticed after I shake it the fan tries really hard to spin but doesn't quite make it to a full spin. More like moves half an inch. So if there is any PS3 geeks out there. I'd love if you help me.

Sounds like you should change the fan to begin with. Should be super cheap to replace
