Hi
Before anyone shouts at me I know how important it is to get the correct fuse rating, but yesterday I got hold of a samsung with a back light fault, after stripping it down I found that it looks like it has had fluid damage as there was rust and tell tale signs on the top of the inverter, plug 1 was melted to the connector and the smd fuse had blown.
I cleaned everything up and replaced the fuse, the original fuse was 3.15a 74v, I have only got 3a 63v fuses available so fitted one and the TV was playing away fine for 2 hours, it then packed up again.
The question is in reality should this fuse work or will it do what I have mentioned and blow after a short period, or do you think the inverter or B/L may have another fault somewhere.
I was going to pop a 4a fuse in to run the tv for a good 12hours but I dont want to burn the place down
Thanks for any help
