Jedi RF Board Fuse

[rileym]

Anyone aware of the location of the fuse on the Jedi Series?

I believe I have an MTX8000 with a blown fuse.

Thanks

Its on the component side of the pcb right near the positive battery contact pin. Its a tiny little rectangular smt fuse.

thanks.

Do they usually show pretty easily when they blow?

It looks like it pay have a small crack in it, not sure though. I may try to jumper to see if it is the fuse.

Thanks

YEP.

Works when jumpered.

Yes - sorry i should have mentioned there is a visual indicator. If the little line in the middle is gone its blown.

All good.

to replace this fuse, get the proper value 'spare' and a toothpick, then superglue the end of the toothpick to the SMT fuse and wet the board where the fuse sits.

Place the fuse on the pads and apply solder to one pad, then the other and make sure the solder flows cleanly at the base of each pad.

You can also apply a drop of superglue on the bottom of the fuse and apply it to the board and wait 30 seconds to resolder also.
