Step 5

              Replacing fuse
  • You can either cut off the fuse from the wire or desolder the fuse. I chose to cut the fuse off, because I do not have tools needed to desolder.
  • Then just solder the new fuse onto the wires. You may want to make sure to have solder that can handle high temperatures, as this will go up to about 200 °C.
