Bit of a newbie question

[SANDMAN1976]

Hi guys,

 

Ok stupid as this one sounds.....

 

I have a synergy twin cd deck that has lost power, I have traced the "no power" right back to before the 4 diode bridge rectifier.

Now for the silly sounding part........ I was an electronics student about 10 years ago and the component that seems to be stopping the power comming through is a strange package to me.

 

Imagine if you can a standard 2amp diode size package, coated in a glossy outer and mustard yellow in colour.

 

Even sillier . . . . . . Its reads "LF1A" which to me would be a descreet fuse..

But it dont look like any descreet fuse I have seen before

 

Can anyone identify this component from the description given?

And if it is a fuse can I just replace it with a 1amp non board mounted fuse?

 

 

Thanks!

Adrian.

Adrian,

I am by no means an electrical expert but that to me sounds like a 1A Littlefuse, hence the code LF1A (Littlefuse 1A)

 

A search of electrical components suppliers should help....

 

I may be wrong!
