F1 Blew Dang it!

Post by dc_modder »

Ok. I read all the threads about the F1, but I still don't know what to buy. I have a second DC, but the one that blew is all spiffy with paint job. The other one is cool with a lot of internal mods. What do I buy? Would

On one of my DC's i just replaced the entire controller board on one. But on my other one simply twisting the wires to bypass the resistor seems to work just as well. If you want to buy a fuse i think it should be either a 10ohm or a 1a fast fuse.

Sorry i meant R1 :D

I read that twisting it is bad. If a surge or something happens it will go right through and bust the Motherboard.
