I'd never recomend increasing the fuse size above what is installed form the factory. You may well find that the fuse size is matched to the wire size and not the devices. This would mean that you have a greater chance of fire because the fuse may not blow on a short circuit.
As for what caused your problems I couldn't say without more info. However count yourself lucky you're getting a replacement screen.
I did not replace the fuse in the power line to the screen. That's what's so odd. I guess I wasn't clear enough. The fuse I replaced was to the computer on my own wire. The fuse to the Xenarc monitor (in the cigarette lighter adapter) was left untouched, and was unaffected after the episode, which leads me to believe now that maybe it just WAS an internal failure. Still, it's just odd how this all happened at the same time. PLUS I'm afraid to try the computer in the car now, since it kept burning up the 15 Amp fuses and I have no idea why or what's going on.
