Pc engine coregrafx- no response (bad fuse, value/type needed)

Maybe you should weld a socket in there. There's a good chance the issue is due to the mods installed and it might pop a few more times before you figure out what the cause is.

If you put a socket in there you may have trouble fitting the heatsink back over the top.

none of my local places had the fuses in a suitable length, so I just ordered these:

I'll probably just solder the new one in place.
looking at my work circa I have no idea, maybe 5-6 years ago, I really should redo it better.
I used one of the chips BlueBMW was putting out, should I just reuse that, or is there a better option these days?  (also could be causing the problem, we'll see)

and raven, thanks, but I think I got it covered

okay, tossed in the new fuse today by desoldering the legs off the old one and soldering the old legs to the new fuse, works like a charm.

BUT-
I was trying to play Dracula X via a Tobias disc and every once in a while the picture would "jump" and the input indicator would pop up on my PVM again.
I tried to replicate this with other CD games and hueys to no avail.
should I be worried about this?

Glad to hear it's working...

Probably just the burn?
