Please help I blew a fuse on VGA Card

**Boostz21** · 08-08-2004, 03:02 PM

I seem to have blown a 3 amp fuse on my Dennis K Talon VGA controller card. I thought it would be simple to find but I checked radioshack they only sell 5 amp I was going to go to a computer place that works on computers but they are closed today. Anyone know maybe a website or another store that sells them?

Thanks Mike

first you need to find out what kind of fuse it is.

well I don't know much about fuses it said "F3" on the board and after searching on the internet I found a guy that sells "F3 3 amp" fuses it also has a pyrimed symbol on the fuse. It looks like a diode (covered with ceramic) Green color. I also checked at Circuit City but they said thay don't sell them.

I doubt you will find that locally, you will probably have to order something from digikey or some electronic supplier. Is it surface mount or does it look like a resistor?
