i have a fuse that might be blown causing one of my monitors to be non-funtioning.

i took the monitor apart and didnt see anything out of order so i then looked for the fuse. the fuse's glass part is covered by a cardboard type paper, how can i tell if it's blown???

multimeter-radio shack,
replace it, those 2 should cover it.

For an intct fuse: with the circuit powered up you should have a voltage drop of zero across the fuse.

with the fuse in the computer the power led on the power button lights up but nothing else happens. could this be the fuse?

I'm now confused... is it the monitor or the computer with the problem?

BTW: Monitors can have enough stored power to kill you even when unplugged!

its the monitor.

havent had the monitor pluged in for like 3-4 weeks. thanks for the info though. i dont usually go touching all the stuff, especially anything copper and/or coiled.
