monitor fuse

I have a 7" Boss headrest monitor that stop working. I traced it to a blown fuse. I'm new to this but what is a F1AL 250V. Its a barrel type fuse. What happen to 5A, 10A etc. Hope I'm not dating myself. What can I replace it with.

I did a search at Radio shack and it didn't come up with that number.

Thanks ahead for any replies.

hi,

how's about a description of the fuse. glass or plastic, dimensions & shape,soldered to the board or in a holder?  i'm sure we can find a suitable replacement given a bit more info.

Thanks for the reply Mark,

Glass, barrel type in a fuse holder.

I went buy a local install shop and he gave me a 1A fuse.

It doesn't have the exact same markings.

I'm surprised it's only 1A, anyway I rather blow the fuse than the monitor.

If it does blow again can it be too small of a fuse?? I believe the draw is low.

I replaced the fuse it now powers up but all I get is a white screen.

Does that mean the monitor is blown??

one input thru a fout output video amplifier.

The other monitors still work fine...any ideas.

auex,

Is it worth getting a estimate to repair the monitor. Any ideas?

Cost $125 a year ago, the picture was good enough for the kids.

I would have to buy a matching set if I can't fix this one.

What do you think.

Thanks
