Fuse for Mouse / Games Ports

[TheCorfiot]

Gents,


On my A2000 There is a Fuse resistor on the +5V supply to the Mouse / game ports.

Does anyone have any replacements or can advise on suitable alternatives



Thanks all

You can use any "pico fuse", easily found on Maplins or any Radio Shack (or equivalent). The piece is 100mA (IIRC). Or route a pair of wires and toss a regular-size fuse instead (with the same current rate!).

Should I use 200mA, as on the A2000 1 fuse provides both ports unlike A500 which has 1 fuse per port?

Excellent Thanks for the quick response

Nice One Kai

But are they really rated at 5A.. The Manual specs quote 100mA per port.


Thanks for the reply

I am a newbie on this board, but i have the same issue with a rev 1b mainboard A1200, the mouse and jostick buttons work ok, but no movement in either, rest of the miggy works fine, is there a fuse in this unit or does it look like a fried CIA chip??

Is it possible that the paula chip is responsible as it also handles signals from the mouse & joysticks ports>
