A ps2 console requires a cooling fan to draw all the hot air inside the console outwards, to keep operating temperatures cool. If the fan inside your ps2 console is not spinning, i strongly suggest you don't use your ps2 console for long gaming sessions, as it can overheat very quickly and the GPU and processor will get damaged from overheating.
Instructions:
1)In order to carry out a further examination on why that fan is not spinning, you will need to dissemble the console to access to the motherboard fan connector.
2)Remove the cooling fan connector from the motherboard, get a multimeter and connect each probe onto each pin, there will be 2 pins, one pin will be negative and the other will be positive.
3)Set your multimeter to read voltage, power on the ps2 console and the screen should display 5-12 volts. If the screen shows no volts, then check the fuse that protects the cooling fan because it is likely it has burned out, due to a short circuit. You can locate the ps2 fan fuse by looking at diagrams for your particular model of the ps2 console.
4)If the multimeter shows there is 5-12 volts, the cooling fan is probably faulty, so to test if it is, get a computer cooling fan and attach it to the connectors on the motherboard, if that fan spins, but the ps2 fan doesn't, then replace the ps2 cooling fan with a brand new one.
