hi
im new to all this so sorry if i posted in the wrong place!!

you see my problem started last night when i shorted my talismoon legacy fans sad.gif and when i tryed to run them from the 3 pin power the fans did not spin but they did work with the nitro switch at 12v so they are still ok!!the xbox itself still works fine!!

 I turned over the board and underneath the fans power supply there is a big mosfet (i think thats what its called) tongue.gif and there was a hole in it from when i shorted it !! i found by briging it the fans worked from the 3 pin power again but only ran at 12v!! is there anyway to fix this as they are too noisey!!! where can i get a replacement mosfet or do i have to wire it to a 5v spot ??

thanks for any help
