That's right, it's not a really common fuse to find in
stores since it's not replaceable by the average consumer.
Try a TV service shop, or mail order one.

I have used a different monitor fuse and loosely connected it's
terminals via soldering,but adapter did'nt worked,its dead.
Right tpye of fuse is not available in Canadian famous electronics
shops(Future,Circuit City/Radio Shack,Canada Tyre,Wall Mart etc).

Just get the current correct. Almost any 'type' of fuse will work if
you get it connected. Do I correctly surmise from the above that you
got a fuse connected, but the adaptor still didn't work?

In that case you're barking up the wrong tree. Something else is wrong.
A new fuse is only either going to A) blow again, or; B) not blow, but
the adaptor won't work, either.

I feel either fuse was failed or soldering having voids inside.I will
retouch adapter at coming weekend.

Can I solder normal fuse cap terminals(without wire legs)directly to
previous solder spots.

Yes, but not easily. The ends are plated, and you won't be able
to solder to them without filing off some of the plating. Then
you'll have to be careful that the heat from soldering doesn't
damage the fuse wire or its own connections to the terminals.

Despite being warned not to use other fuse,I have successfully solderd
pigtail type fuse 125V-4A taken out from an old TV to old soldered
spots instead of 250V T1A specified
But as in past I took out AA size,3.6V,Tadiran Lithium
Inorganic Battery for atleast 24 hr,it seems that BIOS data is
disturbed and Laptop showing configuration error due to coprocessor.
Why this time performance of Adapter is very well as in past the
adapter in it's original shape has heated supply cord to Laptop.This
time cord is not hot,its looking miracle.Why adapter running very well
except one of LED is not lighted?
Is there any future failure expected?Will I go ahead fixing LAptop
configuration setting based on this adapter's durability if it favors
during Laptop life?
