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. |

mcm electronics and digikey have great website searches for electronic
parts, and digikey gets technical in their online catalog. the internet is international and you can click your country link at: http://www.digikey.com/ or i found that no listing came back let's take another look with a magnifier and see if maybe the 5 is an S SM means surface mounted fuse. F may mean fast blow 5A may mean 5 amp 125V may mean 125 volts. with it unplugged, can you alligator jumper it out to a fast blowing 5 amp fuse to see if it lights up when you plug it in with the other hand in your pocket? |
Blown fuse
The information he provided didn't answer my question. All it was was a
spec sheet for a fuse with "5MF" in the part number. I looked at the fuse with a magnifying glass, and it does indeed say "5MF". My roommate drove past Wal Mart after he got off of work, so I called him up and gave him the number and asked him to see if he could find one. He found a 5 amp 125 volt fuse, but it didn't say "5MF" on it. I wanted to know exactly what "5MF" stood for, so I could tell if it was important. If not, I was going to put the fuse in he got. I searched Google, and got THOUSANDS of answers, none of which explained what the term meant. More than likely the answer is in the 87,432nd answer, but I hate to have to read 87,431 wrong answers first. So I figured I'd ask here.

They assume I already know what "5MF" stands for. or i found that no listing came back let's take another look with a magnifier and see if maybe the 5 is an S Magnifying glass wearing reading glasses under a halogen reading lamp. It definitly says "5MF". SM means surface mounted fuse. No, it's in a holder. F may mean fast blow 5A may mean 5 amp 125V may mean 125 volts. with it unplugged, can you alligator jumper it out to a fast blowing 5 amp fuse to see if it lights up when you plug it in I'd rather not. That's why I wanted to know what "5MF" stands for, so I'll know if it's safe to plug in with a different type of fuse in it. with the other hand in your pocket? So the hand isn't grounded. If I'm electrocuted this will insure the current doesn't go from one hand to the other and through my heart. I'm not entirely ignorant of electricity. Thanks for the help. |

5m maybe 5 millimeter
F maybe fast. |

Tony Just a tip here....take a good look at the fuse, assuming it is glass, and if it is very black inside I wouldn't bother replacing it since most likely 10 times the rated current flowed and there is definitely a short. If there is just a small separation in the element then perhaps it just separated from contraction / expansion and replacing it most likely won't continue to do additional damage such as removing the traces from the circuit board. Now, if it's black inside you probably have, like Tony suggested, a short in the power supply such as the bridge or regulator. This would be very simple and most likely cheap to repair. Haul it down to the local repair shop and get a quote. If it's a basket case, which I doubt, you lost nothing otherwise it will probably be a minimum shop charge. Good Luck ....Ross |

This group deals with home repair, which I thought was more appropriate than theoretical electronics. Also, my question wasn't specifically about repairing electronics.

Because you're a little man with a fat head and a big mouth who insults people on usenet because you're too much of a wimp to do it in real life. Either that, or you're a ****in' moron. I can't decide which. It might even be both. I also reread your posts. You're not very good at trading insults, are you? Needless to say, my insults were eloquent and devastating. You sounded like a bumbling fool. No wonder you threatened me. I'd get mad too if I was publicly humiliated. So for the third time now, I guess I'll take that as a "No"? Eloquent? So does than mean you are a pussy AND a fairy? Bubba |

No lightning strikes, no sparks, no smoke, no crackling noises, no nothing. Expect 5000 more posts in this thread on the subject of whether it is safe, or not, for a person with, presumably, limited? electronic skills and test equipment to try and repair a, presumably colour? 27 inch TV which can have very high (read lethal) voltages of many thousands of volts. Presuming again, it is of the cathode ray tube type? Which under certain circumstances can emit X.Rays! I wasn't planning on doing any more than looking for the obvious. I also made sure it was unplugged before I took the cover off, and I didn't plug it back in until the cover was back on. What difference does it make? Did you get the point that you can kill yourself even when it is unplugged? OK, it's less likely, but did you ask how to avoid it? Puzzled the OP didn't ask the original 'fuse' question on an 'Electronics/scientific' repair group! This group deals with home repair, which I thought was more appropriate than theoretical electronics. Also, my question wasn't specifically about repairing electronics. I just wanted some information on fuses. You can describe a fuse in a sentence or two. Where it is used does make a difference in what there is to say about this. And this group had ten times the number of posts as the other groups, and I wanted a quick answer. Who says the electronics group is only theoretical. The one I read is not. And they do know more about electronics repair than the people here. (no offense, guys. They know more than I do, too.) It would have been a better group for this question. Far more likely to know what 5MF means, because there are so many more people there who deal with glass fuses. Be careful! Hope the OP gets lucky with just replacing the fuse. But as with anything fuses are there for reasons; which include protection of human health, safety and property! I replaced the fuse, and ran it a few hours last night, and about four hours today. No problems so far. That's good. That might be the only problem. Remove NOPSAM to email me. Please let me know if you have posted also. |
