Loose Fuse on rambo - how to secure?

[jeffhuber]

I have a fuse on my rambo board that is loose (the fuse by the LCD connector - it's either F2 or F3). part of the metal contacts on one side came off while being replaced one time. When the printer is moving about it can come lose and then the printer dies obviously. What is a good and safe way to secure it but not permanantly?

thanks!

I would try a narrow strip of aluminum foil and wrap it around the end of the fuse then reinsert into fuse socket.
Not the best repair but the other alternative is to send the Rambo back to Ultimachine for repair.

One other option would be to insert the fuse into the socket and heat the side having the problem with a soldering iron and using a minimal amount
of solder, attach the end of the fuse to the metal contact. It can be removed by heating the connection again.
Best of luck to you with this.

I'd like to think that there's a way to probe the socket with something pointy like a test lead to retension the socket, but it's hard to say whether that's possible or not. I'd reach out to Johnny and the guys from Ulitmachine to see if they have any advice. I'm sure you're not the first person who's encountered this.
