How many Amps should the fuse in the C64 be rated for? The fuse I
pulled is a 1.5A 250V fuse, yet "Troubleshooting & Repairing your
Commodore 64" says to use a 1A 250V fuse. A quick bit of googling
seems to indicate that it should be 1.5A.
I don't think using the larger fuse will cause any real problems in that
any fault that passes enough current to blow a 1A fuse is likely to be a
dead short across the 5V lien, and that'll blow the 1.5A fuse too.
