Followed dcmodders tutorial for tricking me dc into thinking that theres a fan there. Made the curcuit finally, (had the bits for about 4 months, just lazy) and soldered it all up etc. First of all I ran into problems when ya hafta solder 3 wires to one plug. Is it okay to solder em all with the same piece of solder, or is it best to make three seperate joins, wasn't sure anyways, so just went on soldering em all together. Right, anyways, circuits built after hours of fiddlin. Turn on the dc, bla bla, turns off (obviously, i didn't exactly expect this to work {should have thought it through abit more actually before tearing me actual dc fan out of its little plug in thingy..yes, the word your looking for is MUPPET}) but anyways, I noticed that the 555 trigger is gettin proper hot after just afew seconds of bein on, so reckon dat me circuits knackered....anyone got any clues that will stop me having to buy a new dc this weekend...
btw, this wont be good if i've killed it, thats an x-box and a dc now
Cheers
