DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Also, there is a ferrite core next to it, L204 it looks like, and it looks like the right hand end (In the photo) has a dry joint.
Gotcha. I'll take a look at that joint as well. Thanks much.

Okay, I removed the fuse and tested it for continuity on an Extech multimeter.

I'm getting nothing. Nada, zilch, zero. Looks like it's dead Jim. :)

So now to get a new one...

Oh just curious - do I need to worry about *why* that fuse blew?

Or is that something I need not worry about unless I put a new one
in and it blows.

Thanks.
