Can someone tell me what the component labeled F5 on the mainboard is? What is the value of this mini-component? Is there anyway I can get (order) this part online?
@kerry1 that sounds like a fuse but we will have to see the board as well as get any kind of identifier from it so we can try and find a schematic or at least try to get you the information about the part. You do want to go ahead and add some good images of your board and the location of this component with your question. For that use this guide Adding images to an existing question Update (03/01/2018) @kerry1 yes that is a fuse. You will have to clean up the solder pads and measure the distance from pad-to-pad to determine the “package size”
Once you know the package size you can visit sites like mouser.com or digikey.com (yes ebay.com may have those as well) and order a few fuse. I’d go with a 6V 1A minimum or a 2A maximum fuse. Solder the new fuse in and see what happens. Hopefully this is all that got destroyed during the over-voltage.
