Test for continuity on the fuse with a multi-meter or other such tool.
If the fuse is bad you can
1. look for a replacement Pico fuse, or
2. use a more conventional glass fuse ether rated at 1.5 amps.
Pico fuses are hard to find and can be expensive.
If you are using a conventional glass fuse make sure to solder a fuse holder in place instead of the actual fuse to avoid damage to the fuse and to add to ease of repair if the fuse blows out again.
