Thanks all, appreciate the help! I believe I do know the underlying problem and am in the process of repairing that, so the next fuse I use *hopefully* shouldn't blow.
Also, I did check and the fuse is the 5mm x 20mm mini fuse size. It's stamped T4AL250V one one side and the following on the other side:
CCC (in a circle)
RU (with a backwards "R")
SA (in a circle)
S (in a circle)
VDE (in a triangle of sorts)
something like an "m" or the flux symbol (in a circle)
50T
H (in a circle)
In looking at fuses on digikey, there are different types like:
Fast Acting, Short Time Lag
Slow Blow, Long Time Lag
etc...
Does it matter which type I use?
