Need help in identifying a fuse

[Goosemaster]

I have an old set of HK 595's and I believe they died because the fuse blew. Unfortunately I am having problems id'ing it.

Here is the FUSE PIC..it s a 250v 1.6amp fuse


Anyways, I bought some fast blow fuses, but

1) they blow every time i try them (gone through 3 already)

Thanks

dude, flush out your prostates, that should solve your problem.

anyone?


I basically need help identifying it. I can then find a place that sells it later.

USE:


This is the fuse of a set of Harman/Kardon HK595 Computer speakers. Once again Everytime I add a new fuse and turn it on THe green light flashes on and off and I hear a "pop." It burns the fuses every time.

Here is a picture of the speakers

Woot! I didn't realize I could post again.

Anyway, did it occur to you that there may be a dead short in the speakers?

Here's a horrifying thought: you find the right fuse, spend $5 on it, put it in and IT blows anyway. :Q

I'll post it in Hardware as no one in here seems to care

 

[HappyPuppy]

I care, but you didn't answer the question.

WTF

That is what I did...except the fuses were $2.45 for 5 of them.


Basically

1)did I get the right type of fuse? {fast acting}
2) and second, if the fuse is correct, what could be shorting out the amp/sub etc?

I think you need to find out WHY it is blowing first...



Or, just wrap the sucker in foil and stick it back in. Hey, you wont have fuse problems again.

Definitely. THis whole disscussion has been centered around making sure that the fact that I am using a FAST-ACTING fuse has nothing to do with the problem, as I didn't want to mess with theamp just yet.

I have opened the sub and poked around, but didn't feel like disconencting stuff until I was assured I would have to.
