<DIV><FONT face="Century Schoolbook" size=2>Power supplies also may have a fuse.
This happened to me not long ago. Fortunately, I ignored the dire warnings on
the cover of the power supply and found the blown fuse inside. Unfortunately,
Radio Shack did not have an exact replacement, so I tried something
close.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Century Schoolbook" size=2>I have a little device that detects
power flows without a direct connection. You should be able to get one at a
radio shack or home depot. Very useful for things like power supplies where your
only concern is whether touching something will fry your brain.</FONT></DIV>

for about $50.</FONT></DIV>
