Default pc power supply short circuit mishap




Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. I would not know where to find a replacement fuse,
given I'm living far away from shops where they sell them. I bought a second
power supply and will try to find a fuse later on.

This Compaq power supply was from 1998, I hope back then it was also
designed to cope with short circuits like the new one I bought now. I
suspect the red-black wires transport 12V supply, and the yellow one 5V (?).


Thanks again,

Peter






You got 10 years out of it, that's a pretty good run. I wouldn't bother
fixing it myself, you can salvage some interesting parts from them if
you're into that.
