Sega CD 2 Fuse locating

[Marspants]

I've gotten a broken Sega CD Model 2 and after looking around I'm pretty sure I just need to replace the Fuse, although finding one seems to be difficult for me. Does anyone know where I could get one that doesn't charge like 25$ for shipping a 1$ fuse to Canada? Also if anyone knows variations of fuses that would work with the system maybe I could look for another type.

-I found this video pretty helpful if anyone is thinking of fixing one

Hey brotha,

I've had this same problem fixed a few years back. I brought mine to radio shack and they had all sorts of fuses for me. it only costs about a buck.

let me know how it turns out.

I have some local electronic shops that I've asked about fuses, but I need some specific models. I was looking for a PICO II 2.5a fuse but something makes me think maybe I could use or find something else that would work.

the amp is rated at 2.5A. just go get one for youself at any electronic store.

I'm amazed! After some minor burns I got it working! Haha, awesome. Thanks man.
I used one of these things http://www.mrvfone.com.au/sega/fuse_h.jpg and didn't even take out the old fuse. I just had to solder it to the legs of the old fuse
