PSU Damage - a simple fuse or a new power supply?
I had the electronics enclosure open to work on my fan connectors, and in a stroke of genius forgot to unplug the PSU. Long story short (pun intended), my power supply will not be supplying my printer with power anymore. Does anyone know if the PSU with the Mini+ has a fuse? In other help topics, it seems other models have fused PSUs, however I can see no evidence of a fuse on the power supply itself or its label, and some googling isn't giving me any help either.

You have probably fired it. I am not tracking a fuse in the mini power supply and I have 5.

In the UK we have a fuse in plug, not sure were you are based, if you have a multi meter check i would check the supply for voltage, at a guess there is most likely a fuse in the PSU, not sure if shorting it would cause it to trip though or how easy it is to open.

I did probe it, and I am getting no voltage. I was able to open it (just some security torx screws) but couldn't find any fuses on the board. I may do it again and remove the shielding, but I doubt a fuse would be buried that far.
Fuse
there is a fuse in the input socket, between the IEC Plug hole, and the switch.

I apologize for not making sure this was understood, but this is the power supply in question:

Usually such power supplies have short circuit protection. I would suggest to contact Prusa Support. They can provide a better recommendation how to proceed. My guess is a new PSU.

As @Nikolai said, contacting support is not a bad option. I would not try to repair the power supply yourself. I had one fail and replaced it with a Chinese knockoff. I ended up having to replace that one within 6 months so just buy an original.

Meanwell instead of orig. Prusa Mini PSU
My Mini's PSU also went goodbye and I installed a 360Watt Meanwell PSU with a suitable plug for this purpose:

Has they worked well? I have contemplated the same.

RE: psu
The plug assembly requires a bit of dexterity. In any case, the power supply and plug work perfectly. The only thing thats a bit annoying is the rather loud Meanwell fan.
