I had my XT 150watt power supply blow a fuse. I don't want to spend money buying a new power supply. I would just like to buy a new fuse. Does any one know where I can buy a fuse?? Thanks, John Cook

If any of the internal components failed (and caused the fuse to blow), you might as well throw the power supply away. PC-type power supplies are all switching power supplies, and if one component fails, it will most likely take out several others with it. Switching power supplies, especially the no-name-made-in-some-Far-East-country ones, are not economically to repair. It doesn't make sense to put it $500 worth of labor to fix a $100 power supply.
