Troops, Having suffered from a blown fuse in my DS, I found someone supplying the very needed fuses on ebay - have a look. They will even put them in for you if you don't have the tools and skill. Ebay DS Fuses Link Cheers Ticfever
The fuses you need are 603 style 500ma surface mount fuses - if you look around you can get them a lot cheaper than £1.50 RS sell them at 18p each!
I've already seen you banned from one forum for advertising these. Wonder how long you can survive here...
What forum have I been banned from? Anyway, only trying to help those with bricked DS' that are tempted to bridge the pads with wire or solder. I tried getting fuses with great difficulty - so what's the problem pointing folks in the right direction?
