Poop! Just shorted out my Game Gear's battery pack. - now with pics

Got too big for my britches and thought I'd try to run a fan using my Game Gear's power back. I shorted a wire or two, and there was a little spark. Now it won't power up my Game Gear.

What kind of battery pack is it. There is a fuse soldered to the board of some of those things.

It's the Sega Power Pack or something like that. I opened it up to take a look. There's a big 7.2 V Ni-Cad and a circuit board with some stuff on it. My guess it that stuff is just to prevent overcharging or something. I'll take another look and see if there is a fuse.

Edit: If anyone wants to see part of it in more detail, tell me and I'll take a bigger res shot.

I didn't see anything that was obviously a fuse....

Sorry, I don't think I've ever seen that one, and I don't see a fuse. Fuses are marked with a "F," Resistors with "R," etc. If they didn't put a fuse in there, you could have blown almost anything in there. That sucks.
