Default Blown fuse

Someone gave me a 27" TV because it wouldn't work, so I took it home and
opened it up, hoping it would be something easy. I found a blown fuse,
which I'm hoping is the only problem. The fuse says 5MF5A125V, which I
assume means 5 amps 125 volts, but I don't know what the 5MF means. Any
ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
Just find physically matching 5 amp fast blow fuse and try it. 27"
analog TV ain't precision high tech stuff. If it blows again, try slow
blow type one more time and if it blows too there is something wrong
with circuitry, most likely on the power supply/regulator area.
I'd clean the dust off first.
