I just fu@ked up ! how do i wire this ?
i just fucked up majorly .
i took the fan out my old pc and tried to wire it to a cord . when i plugged it up the fan let of a big spark and it made that pop sound . idk if it was to much power or what . here is a pic . ( i had electrical tape on the exposed wires when i tried it ) if it was to much power then how do i get it to work then , all i have are those 120v outlets it scared the shit out of me when it popped lol . i might just have to buy a small 6'' table fan and just take the brackets of it lol . |

Look on fan for the voltage AC or DC if it was DC its toast.

A battery or power converter is what you need.
And possibly a crash course in electronics

Get a cellphone charger prep the ends, and attatch your new fan will work

There should be a voltage rating on the fan somewhere.
You just need a DC converter with the same rating, and another fan.

You may already have one.
Check old plugs for video game systems or like Dog said cellphone chargers... Otherwise Radio Shack will have some. And please use wire nuts and tape this time!
