Ok I was playing around with my new Einstein and after a little while blew a fuse. Thought that was odd, but turned down the power and used the spare that came with it. After a few moments that one blew. I know I can order them, but I have no idea what kind of store carries this type of fuse. Anyone ever need to get a fuse for Einstein in a hurry? Also, any ideas why this happened? Any way to bypass the fuse? |

People have destroyed their equipment, and sometimes even lost their lives and/or homes trying to bypass fuses and breakers.....I wouldn't try it. They're there for a reason. |

Totally agree with BigIron.... the fuse is blowing for a reason and bypassing it does not address the root cause, it just increases the chances of something bad happening. |

There are many reasons why it could blow, bad power supply or a fault in the head are the most common. I would suggest calling in to trouble shoot. !!!!DO NOT TRY TO BYPASS THE FUSE!!!! |

TS - do you know of a good place to buy replacements. Is there a brick & mortar place like an auto parts store? Obviously it is best to have spares but I was wondering what to do if you need one in a hurry. |

I am not sure a local brick and mortar store would carry them. Radio Shack would be more likely than an auto parts store, however, I dont think Radio Shack carries them. We recommend DigiKey. |

Thanks. I noticed that the Shack didn't have them. I guess the moral here is to make sure to have some extras before you need them! |
