Ok, my Tandy 1000 EX PSU blew up. I took the computer apart to clean it thoroughly. I washed everything in warm water, except for the PSU and let the motherboard dry for a week in a dry environment. Something I've done 100 billion times it seems with no issue on other machines.
I go to reassemble the system and test it. The PSU made a wine and the fuse blew. The computer didn't turn on. I got the correct voltages out of the PSU when the fuse wasn't popping. I replaced the fuse a few more times, kept blowing. Eventually I did a stupid and jumped the fuse (It was only a temporary thing so I could troubleshoot it) which caused a couple regulators to pop.
Would a PicoPSU be enough to power a 1000 EX, that is if the Motherboard isn't fried.
On the bright side, the computer looks phenomenal.
