Super Nintendo Fuse
I am wondering what type of fuse the super nintendo takes? Can it be found in stores or anywhere at all? Or does anyone have one they are willing to sell that works so I can bring my snes back to life?
Snes takes a 3AMP fuse, you can use any type.
My snes has a pencon fuse
There on ebay and cost next to nothing
Mine uses 1.5 amp, rated at 125 volts. Where did you pull that 3 amp figure from? The Super Nintendo in America, Germany and Spain all use 1.5 amp.Originally Posted by blackpanther
Also, don't use the slow burning fuses.
I stated the Pal version, My fault was'nt thinking
SO where can I find a 1.5amp 125 volt fuse? Would eBay have them or are they aspecially for SNES's?
DigiKey or go to your local components store.
You'll probably have an easier time getting and installing a tube fuse holder so you can use traditional glass tube style fuses, instead of finding a replacement reed style.
So exactly what I need is a 1.5 Amp 125 Volt reed fuse?
Or if I want to install a tube fuse holder where can I find that and what is the exact size I need and the specs on it?
Can someone please responde I'm in dire need to fix this and I need to know more information, like where exactly is the fuse located and where I can find the fuse and if I wanted to get a glass fuse holder what size I would need and what the voltage is on it?
It has been a while since I did this but I remember the original fuse located not far from the power jack input on the board, it's fairly easy to pick out because it looks like a wire with a black rectangular plastic piece suspended in the middle, stretched over a missing area of the circuit board. It will say 1.5A or something equivalent in white lettering.
Any fuse holder will probably do, there's a lot of clearance in the SNES casing. They're tubular, often made of plastic, with a screw lid on one end to secure the fuse within. There's also a metal clip style that a fuse can snap into. You'll probably want the 3/4 inch length variety fuses and holders, GMA size, as they're common but smaller than the 1.25 inch variety. The only reason I suggested a fuse holder over the reed style is that subsequent replacement of the fuse becomes less of a hassle.
As for where to find these things, search the web, pester Radio Shack jockeys, interrogate garden gnomes.
Would something like this be good enough to use as a reed fuse?

Its the closest things I found to a reed style fuse there are a couple different ones but they are just different max amps and higher temperatures.
Well Ive tryed this fuse and it was not successful I'm still not getting power to the system. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
SNES
I would check the 7805 Voltage Regulator which I believe is 5V out. Use a multimeter to see if that is the case. The Voltage Regulator is soldered right next to the black fuse and is screwed onto a heat sink. I hope this helps.
Damn, son.
I'm all for saving systems (a lot of times I'll buy jacked up retro consoles just so I can repair them and send them on their way) but in this case, I would have junked that sucker a while ago.
Is your AC adapter known confirmed to be working?

Yeah my AC adapter works with my other SNES. Before I switches fuses (which I thought was the case) there was no power going to it. The LED in the front didn't light up and when I turned it on nothing happened. I'd prefer to fix it but if worse comes to worse I'll just throw it out unless someone wants to buy it and see if they can fix it.
At least save it for parts. I hate to see things thrown out that have some use.

I'll save it I used the connecter to repair my other SNES. If anyone wants a part from it I'd be willing to sell any peice. Just name your part and price and Ill remove it from the system if its removable.
actually the original snes design (this includes ALL of the ABOVE except for SNES2) have 1.5A fuses but the 7805 is oldstyle and can only handle 1A atmost so no bigger then 1A is needed. and you can actually bridge the fuse and since the 7805 is kinda robust and handles ripples unlike fuses (7805 is a power stabilizier to 5V ) snes have oldstyle 7805 that cant handle more then around 15V input newer ones can handle up to something like 30 but since the snes caps arent that powerfull i wouldnt recommend plugging in any adaptor with more juice then 9V
Broken? fix it.
