Naomi 1 Fan broken??

Hi there.
Today I noticed this :


Some one can tell me how can I fix it??
Many thanks.

looks like you have ripped the middle out of the chip the heatsink was attached to

If that's the case its not an easy job to replace. For the cost of a naomi 1 board it may be as well to just buy another unit

Oh bad new bro.
Ok don't worry , I get it into basket trash!!

I wouldn't trash it. The case and filter board are fine. Just buy one of the yellow smelly ones from Yaton and swap the mainboard over.

Ouch. This looks like a literally broken GPU. Mame describes the GPU as a "VideoLogic/NEC 'CLX2/HOLLY' chipset and PowerVR2 GPU (large BGAxxx, with heatsink and fan)". We already know how difficult the process of applying a BGA chip is but finding a replacement chip is already difficult enough (for obvious reasons).

That's actually a common fault. When post office treat parcels rough, the weight of the heatsink+fan assembly rip off the GPU die/core from the flexible PCB it's attached to. That happens with the NAOMI2 too. Since it has two holly chips it breaks twice as easy.
