because of damage.

This discussion was about products that meet industry standards.
Many A+ Certified computer techs who don't even know how electricity
works. Electrical knowledge is not required for the test. So many
clone computers contain power supplies missing essential functions
because the power supply was selected only on dollars and watts. A
domestic market where inferior supplies can be dumped for higher
profits by selling at lower prices. Correctly noted are so many clone
computers with supplies that are missing essential functions. Those
defective computers were not part of the topic here.

Why do so many computer power supplies not even output rated power?
Well they don't even have to meet FCC requirements. It is the
computer assembler's (not power supply manufacturer's) job to make
that computer FCC compliant. One way to identify defective
computers. But an AM (medium wave) radio adjacent to the machine. If
machine causes radio interference, then start asking that computer
assembler why the computer is defective - and how many other required
functions are missing. These defective machines are not accidents -
maybe accidents waiting to happen.
