I've decided to go for it and replace the fuse - thanks for the warning though - but it's better for me to attempt it and possibly waste a $1.50 on a fuse than taking it to a DUDE who charges me $75 just to look at it and tell me that I need to buy a $200 monitor.

There is stenciling on the BOARD next to the FUSE that says this should be replaced with a FUSE of the same type and rating. The fuse itself is white and on the ends it has some markings but no writing.

If I take it to a guy at an electronics shop to buy a FUSE do you think he can tell what type of FUSE I'm gonna show him or that I need???

Also, CAN I just goto an electronics store and get the FUSE, or is there a special kinda store I need to visit - a website would be best???
