So about 2 years ago, I ripped the front bay out of the case, and with that the controller ripped off one of the bottom fans. So the fan is working, but it needs that switch. So there wer three wires. Connecting wire 1 + wire 2 would get me low speed, wire 2+3 = med speed, and 1+3 = high speed. So I connected wires 1+3 together, and taped them with electrical tape from the dollar store (black tape). The other two wires are just out in the open, but not touching anything.
My case has built up a lot of dust, and I have a couple of concerns.
1. Will the dust on the exposed wires ignite?
2. Will the cheap dollar store electrical tape ignite?
I think I also ripped out one of the wires from this thing:
, and it's working now, I got it working, but just stuffing the wire in there.
Is that also safe? Or is it dangerous?
