3 amp 250 volt fuses slow blow..i know they are the right kind..

my question is how can i pin point the problem...

i will make this as easy to understand as possible..

you know the RFI filter or whatever its called. the wire from it to the fuse holder keeps getting blowed every single time..

how can i stop it a or do i have to buy another one a rfi filter??

I'll take your word for it, but for me, not knowing what the fuses are inline with, I wouldn't be so sure in your place.

As an example, my MVS-2-25 uses a 5A fuse.

Cheers.

For starters, put fuses in ALL the slots and see if it still blows the one.

Look for shorts (loose wires touching places it shouldn't)

We might be able to better follow what is going on and help out if you kept all the related questions in one thread.  I think there are 3 threads centering around getting your neo geo cab to work.
