I was changing out LEDs and when I put in the last one the fuse blew. I took out the bulb and changed the fuse, started the game and everything was fine. When I put the bulb back in the fuse blew again.
I changed the fuse again and put in a different bulb and turned it on, now the game works just fine.
Am I crazy? Can this one bulb actually be so bad that it destroys a fuse? Or was I just unlucky twice?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Never had a failure like that myself, but sure, the components inside the bulb could be shorted. Toss the bulb and just stick in another one.
