Just open it and find the fuse. It shouldn't be hidden too deep...

The problem is not finding the fuse, but "remove" the "reason", why the fuse is blown up.

In some seldom cases, if we have luck, we simple need to exchange the fuse, and I wish Jbit much luck ....

With friendly regards

Fuses often go with age so he may be lucky. You might also want to pull off the disks and any add on cards then try with a new fuse, and work forwards with a supply of them to hand.

ObElectronicsWarning: If you dig in the innards of a PSU please remember that some capacitors can hold enough charge to kill you several weeks after the system is unplugged. Also having reassembled it check that the earthing is correct with a meter before you try it.

No such luck, the (new) fuse blew streight away ;(
The workstation in question has no HDD/FDD/cards to blow it.
It looks like one of the FETs has blown too, the question is, why?
Hopfully its a dodgey (old) power supply, NOT the mother board...
Will say when (and how) i fixed it, so anybody with similar problems can dig through the ml archives and fix it (fairly) easily
