So I think I fried my PSU.

Breakers tripped in the room with my computer in it. I flipped breaker back and went to try to turn on computer and nothing. No fans. No noise. No lights. Took PSU out and tried hooking it up to another motherboard (just with the motherboard power cords) to see if there were any lights or if it started up and still nothing.

I know sometimes PSUs can be finnicky but am I screwed? Really don't want to have to deal with the month-long RMA process in a 2 month old PSU.

Buy another one until the RMA comes through. Then sell one of them.

Buy another PSU and just RMA that PSU, then sell it.

What I don't understand is; a breaker tripping isn't a surge, the surge comes from you turning on the power.

Do you not have a surge protector and/or switched the PSU off?
