Hello,

I bought a special 2 pin fan so that I could connect it directly to my power supply and not deal with buying a 3 pin fan and retailing it. Well it turns out the fan is not wired correctly for my PSU and I need to switch the ground and power wires. It has a standard 2 pin connector at one side and this on the other end, it's hard to tell the connector type but it has 3 pins. Is there any way I can pull the wires out of the plug and swap them or do I need to cut the heads off and retail them? Thanks

Sometimes you can get the pins out carefully working with a needle. It's a bit of a bitch, but doable.
