quick question for those in the know of all things electronic....
Yesterday, while waiting for the heater mod to the 30 litre tank to heat up test, been looking at why the little 3 litre tank ultrasonic had crapped out... just not got any bzz bzz heater worked but nothing from the ultrasonic side. Just shoved it to one side, but had a wee bit of time on it so had a good look at the boards, and think one of the components has gone. A fuse I think, best as I can see a 3.15A? would that be right? looks more like it's cracked rather than blown (the glass is all crazed) either way certainly has no continuity across it.
Where would you get such a small fuse, what would they be called? doesn't look like the fuse can be changed, soldered in... Are they anything special, or could I solder another fuse across the "legs" and cutting out the original? I have some small capacity slow blow fuses, but they're physically way bigger than that one.
any advcie gratefully appreciated as usual... cheers
