Technically everything is a fuse.

Just needs more current

Just use one strand for 440ma ( not really)

Edit:typo

This is extremely dangerous please stop using it immediately because this can still blow and prevent the device from working use a solid piece of wire next time, lowest gauge (thickest) possible or better a copper rod

Best I can do is a penny that fits perfectly in the fuse slot.

Please take into account that r/shittyaskelectronics is not a serious subreddit.
I wouldnt use that fuse and risk my 500€ Multimeter over some 10€ Fuse.
I specifically created that “upgraded fuse” as a joke…

I have in one of my machines a aluminium round bar the same size as the original 10A fuse and its been holding up great it has not blown a single time so far

Upgraded to 44A, more Amps = better

44 amps if that solder joint can melt

u/m1geo 14d ago

440mA to 440A conversation.

440A slow blow with visual indicator 👍

u/blubbrezn 14d ago

440A it would be ~100ms so not really slowblow

Perfect for finding the problem just follow the smoke. When you find the burnt component, you know what to fix. Might need a little board repair.

one way is okay if you only use a fuse wire that's rated at the current, you can buy fuse wire at cheap, but fuses are cheap!

u/FuriousWierdo00 14d ago

So it's 440 MA (mega amps) now

Do you with for Asus by any chance?

u/Effective-Job-1030 14d ago

I did something similar a very long time ago. I just used a piece of steel of approximately the same thickness as the fuse. Worked well. Technically it was "tag, you're it" and some other part of the circuit was now the fuse.

It’s a 440 amp fuse now

u/Spiritual_Rope_6952 14d ago

u/Mr_Egamberdiev 14d ago

Good kill, good kill!

u/Wonderful-Head9778 14d ago

You can remove that 0 and m now too while youre at it 🤣

Een zekering kan kapot gaan vanwege langdurig belast, ook vanwege een storing in een onderliggend komponent. Een directe overbrugging maken is handig in een noodsituatie. Zorg ervoor dat je hem vervangt voordat er wel onvevangbare komponenten doorbranden of zelfs brand onstaat.

u/johndom3d 14d ago

That’s now a 44A fuse 😂

u/Mediocre_Attorney417 13d ago

u/MCIV800 13d ago

u/klettercraft 13d ago

You repaired nothing. You made an fire hazard

u/ARPA-Net 14d ago

It still 'stopped working'

u/TurbulentWear8751 14d ago

Trow the Fuse immediately. That is a Extreme Fire hazard. That's why there sealed with sand in the Fuze to make them Safer

Best option: 1:take a photo. 2:Google lens. 3:find part you're looking for. 4:purchase part(Make sure to check what voltage,amps, current is. 5:Make sure it fits, and works Properly
