    Google doesn't seem to have any trouble finding it.
    First hit.
    Assume you fixed what blew it.

    No schmuck, the 1st hit is AMAZON selling the fuses. The next 99 on
    that page are ALSO simply sellers.

    Thanks so much for taking the time to be HELPFUL.
    Ok, let me quote the amazon page for you.

    QUALITY USA brand fuses!! Set of 5 pieces, T3.15AH250V, T3.15A 250V,
    T3.15 H250V, T3.15A 250V, T3.15H250V cartridge CERAMIC fuses 5X20mm
    (3/16" X 3/4"), 3.15A 250V, SLOW-blow (Time Delay)

    And again with focus on the rating:
    3.15A 250V

    And again with just the amperage
    3.15A
    The A is for Amps.
    That helpful enough for you?
    So what that is shit information, he obviously wasn't just looking for a listing that says 3.15 amps and along with supporting information. The info on that post could easily be 3.15 amps by coincidence, it does not state it is 3.15 amps because the
    naming scheme has 3.15 in X postilion and go on in any detail at all. It does not say that the fuse has to be ceramic, it doesn't mention 3.15 amps is the amps for that fuse because of the numbers in the name, and when fixing things, especially replacing
    any electorally charged and dependent hardware components that the entire system relies on functioning properly and not being damaged further or cause even worse problem potentially. It's best to clear things up, retard. Who the fuck reads an amazon
    listing for information that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, like doing research, and writing your scientific paper and getting ready to submit it to a peer reviewer body, and your dumb ass has amazon listings for all the citations, LMFAO.
    Creditable 100% All facts and verifiable, those sellers sure are honest dudes.

    According to the ratings you quoted, it is a T3.15AH or 3.15 amp hours with a 250 Volt (AC)
    input of the fuse. What is the brand and the model number of the TV/Monitor? Having that
    will enable me to pull up a service manual online and be able to tell you from the service manual.

    A fuse is designed to open up for a number of different reasons with safety in mind. Sounds like
    from what you tell me, there is a short. It could be the horizontal output, a shorted wire, a current
    limiting resistor, or caps. that could have gone bad, if it wasn't merely a power surge. Monitors
    use about 3 amps of current on the primary secondary power supply just before rectification.

    A stands for Amperage- it was restated many times throughout the thread. Saying "A"
    is electronics shorthand for amperage. Surely, you know this! Amperage is the amount
    of current flowing through a circuit, just so you know that I know. It's the current that
    gets ya when you get electrocuted also.
