Angry A100 blows many fuses !

2007-03-02 by damaged_meat

Hi all,
I have an amazing problem with my A100 system : it seems to be very
capricious and it sometimes (about 1/2 probability) blows the fuse on
power up. The case is a brand new portable suitcase (version 2). I
tried different types of fuses (200 315 slow or fast, 500 fast), the
315 and 200 sometimes work, sometimes blow, the 500mA i tried blew on
the first attempt but it was not a slow fuse so i guess it's normal.

I checked the electric circuit of my home and it's round 238-240 V.

The thing that really amazes me (i don't know if that's the right
word...) is that the system sometimes work, and sometimes the fuse
blows. I removed all modules and re-installed them all, nothing seems
to be wrong inside the case ...

Is there a simple solution to this problem (special fuse, higher
current value) ? What is this fuse protecting ? What happens if you
replace this fuse by a conductor ? Are there some things not to do
that i should know about modules patching on power up ?

Thanks for your help and sorry for bad english,
Max.
