SNES fuse repair

[Ziggy]

Dude, the fuse works like this: If it's rated for 1 amp, then that's the current it will allow to flow through it. Anything 1 amp or lower. If 1.1 amps tries to flow through it, it blows. So the SNES takes a 1.5 amp fuse. If 1.6 amps tries to flow through the fuse, the fuse will blow, thus preventing anything from blowing up inside the console. If you put a 10 amp fuse in there, you'll be allowing anything up to 10 amps to flow through it, which is WAAAAY too much considering the original fuse is rated at 1.5 amps.
