My cousin reports her custom made processor got faulty- supposedly fuse blew off (and everything else seems to power on in the computer)...
Is it possible to put the right fuse back (in any kind of
processor?)...

(Sorry she is not aware what processor or what motherboard or any other info- novice!!!)...

Pls input!

Thanks

To my knowlegde processors do not have fuses, at least not the kind you can change. I've never heard of a custom made processor (for the private sector), so maybe you are referring to the entire PC? Hard to help with so little input but the Power Supply is an independent part that can be changed and often causes problems...

Since your friend is, as you say, a novice.. perhaps what blew up was a capacitor ? If she could take a picture of the failed component, we might be able to better answer the question.
