Malfunctioning fan controller

[liquidmetalrob]

My PC case has a fan controller on the front with two slide switches that you can use to control fans with 3 pin connectors. You can set each one to high, low or off.
I was trying to install another fan and have it powered straight from the power supply with a molex connector but I accidentally plugged the power into a fan that's connected to this fan controller because it has two connectors. This caused the PC to turn off and then wouldn't come back on for about 5 minutes. When it did come back on the fan controller wasn't working properly. Now it will only work if one switch is set to low and the other one is set to high and then the ones on low will run. So you can't have both sets of fans running and you can't run them on high.
I'm wondering if the problem is with the slide switches or something else. If I replace the slide switches do you think that would fix it?

Probably not. You probably need a new controller. Has the pc been running ok since then? Hopefully you haven't damaged your psu..

Well the two slide switches are the controller. It's basically just those and some wires that connect the fans to the power supply.

i would contact the case vendor see if they can send you a replacement fan controller.
