I believe i have been focused on Motherboards more than the ports for your
exact reason, the ports are connection dependent. what about boards
themselves?

If you live in an older house, older than a house built in the 1970s, then
you probably have fuses and not breakers. Older houses could have the
service panel upgraded to breakers, say from 100 amp to 200 amps. There is
a chance that someone could remove a fuse and not replace it immediately.
What exactly are the remaining problems that you can put your finger on?
Laptops effectively have built-in UPSes. They should not be affected by
drooping voltage and a surge would have to be fairly large to harm it. I
would guess that the first thing to fail would be the power brick. Have
If they are switches, they will be circuit breakers.
I don't know if that means that the box has no fuses.
So: I think that it probably safe for you to feel around but I am not
confident in that guess.

There is a reason for being pedantic. But in this case, the issue has

We are being given an incomplete view of the problem. That's natural
and to be expected. But when an inconsistency comes up, it casts
doubt on the description and we want to get rid of the doubt. Doubt

It is a box, which my landlord told me was the fuse one, with scores of
switches with no indication of what circuits they control..he has no idea
himself.

It is actually a fuse box or is it a breaker panel? If it's a fuse

Oh yes, we have gotten some fuse blows..which my landlord expects me to

No labels, and that I might have an issue seeing them seems not to matter

I believe the serge damaged the port not the cable, which is why I am
