Subject: Problem: Do ATX powersupplies normally have a fuse?

#1 - why don't you put your question down in the body where it belongs,
not the subject. If you start a message question by typing first in the
subject, you end up with a bad subject and also a bad body/question.

#2 - why don't you tell a little story down here in the body which will
explain why you are asking that question -- perhaps you are actually
asking the wrong question.

#3 - there are all kinds of protection 'schemes' which can cause the ATX
PS to refuse to turn on with activation of the front case switch, which
can require that the mobo/PS 'relationship' be reestablished by either
turning off the rear PS switch for a time, or unplugging the linepower
from the PS for a short time.


^1 The best way to start a new topic which will contain a message
question is to first construct a proper message body, which message body
contains only complete sentences and which lays out the premise or
unambiguous background story for what will become the question. The
question is then asked in the message body. After construction of the
message body, the body is given a very very brief 'title' which
characterizes the content of the body, which is not a complete sentence

^2 You did not give a background for whatever kind of problem you are
having or observing that causes you to wonder whether or not something
or other is causing a PS to be inop

^3 such protection schemes can cause the troubleshooter to wonder
whether or not the PS has 'blown a fuse' which could hopefully be reset
