I suggest measuring at the connector mentioned above, for simplicity sake. It's really easy to short out rectifier legs to other things you really don't want to short them to, unless they were intentionally mounted high on the PCB for airflow/clearance reasons. Even then, you'd really want a clip-type probe to grab the leg securely (In your hand is NOT secure...trust me. ).

Rule #1: Read Pinwiki. Seriously. That place is responsible for 90% of what I *do* know when it comes to troubleshooting games.

Just checked back on this and had to LOL... any day you find out "it's just a fuse" is a GREAT DAY, because the stupid thing did EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO!
