Go to solution Solved by Samdb,

A fuse or a PSU,if a fuse then what value fuse should i buy?

 

A fuse, just buy the exact same one you bought before, if not, ask some one at the shop.

Some how,water got into my PSU and when i turned it on,the fuse blew.All the other components seem to be working fine,I've even jumed the leads of the blown out fuse and tuned on the PSU.What i wanted to know was that can i use the psu with a jumped fuse for a week or two till the new fuse i ordered arrive?Also when the fuse on the PSU went off,the curcuit braker of my house also tripped.

Don't risk repairing it just throw it away you don't want to damage your hardware or even house circuit.

Just go to a shop and buy one. They pretty much cost nothing.

This is by far you simplest option that does not evolve burning your house down due to no over current protection.

I think you should get a good reliable PSU IMO, what was the wattage on the other one?

A fuse has nothing to do with the PSU, it's just the mains that has overloaded the maximum current for the PSU, causing the fuse to melt, preventing it from operating. Nothing to do with the PSU.

always when moist or water/any liquid gets near or inside your compuer shut it down and pull out the cord, let it dry for as long as possible, days if nessecary, your computer is unlikely to be dammaged as long as you don't try to turn it on or have residue power lingering in the system, but you are kinda screwed if you try and turn on a wet computer.. not to mention the powersupply! now that is risky bussiness, the water creates new paths for the current to follow, making it go unintended places, really screws up the circutry.

 

judging from the post you might not have been aware of the water dammage beforehand, not sure how that's possible though :P.
