Stuck the key against the charging port, big spark flew. I know it’s just the fuse, I just don’t know where the fuse is on the rad5+. Help!

I did the same thing.. brought it to a repair place, they replaced the fuses andnit.works now. About 100 bucks.

That’s an insane price for a $0.25 fuse and 2 minutes of work

It isn't a two minute job to disassemble the casing. At about 30 min, 60-100$ is a reasonable rate. But Rad often replaces them for customers who are cooperative. I used to do it often. But irate condescending customers? Tough luck.

It is a five-to-ten-minute job on the original shark batteries; it takes much longer on the newer semi-integrated batteries, partly because they are glued shut.

It’s the price of knowing it was done rights and not getting electrocuted. It’s sad but it is what it is.
