Quick question: fuse location help

Post by Abhijitsre » Sat Jan 22, 2022 8:50 pm

I was trying to follow a guide in order to test the fuse of my GameCube but am struggling to find the fuse location. I’m an absolute beginner when it comes to circuit boards so any assistance would be helpful. I have a multimeter so if there’s a good guide in how to find a fuse, that would work as well.

Here are some photos and the link to the instructions I have been following:

Yours is on the power board right by the words 'made in china' labeled 2A.

Thank you for the help. I tried to add a new fuse to the circuit but the GameCube still didn’t work. I’m sure I did it incorrectly though. I’m looking for a local shop to assist me in fixing the GameCube. Honestly, I just want to learn how to do it though…

Try replacing your power supply if you haven't already.
I highly doubt that the fuse was ever bad to begin with

Yeah I did buy an OEM power supply to try it out, but that didn't fix the issue. The symptoms seem to indicate fuse failure, but I am a newbie here, so 🤷🏾‍♂️

Thank you for helping out though! Would you know of how I could find a good shop/person to help me out? I don't know if there is another forum for that sort of thing.
