Hmm. I'm confused. Sorry, but you're really not being clear enough regarding the symptoms. Some of my questions were intended to see if the computer was actually working, and it's still not clear. 40 straight vertical lines on a working computer suggest either a bad character generator - or even a ...

Some holders spring load the fuse against a bayonnet cap and can be tricky to "jam", others with slot screw caps are easier - been known to wrap a few turns of dryer tape around the outer end of the fuse to interference fit it, but neither are solutions. Best to find another holder in the long run ...

I would check Jameco electronics. http://www.jameco.com/ For a fuse cap I doubt it would be anything commodore specific, and used a standard fuse type you will find at Jameco.
