My Black Widow monitor popped both F100 & F101 a while back. Finally pulled it out and used Dokert's monitor extension cable (wow, what a simple but USEFUL tool!) to work it on my bench.

Replaced the fuses with 6A/250V and the monitor works ... but, the +X (right side) is collapsed. I remember a flaky connection that could usually be fixed with a tap. But since I had the monitor out, I decided to finally install my LV2000. That went smoothly except I accidentally extracted one of the pins on P100 instead of the resistor leg I was aiming for. OOPS! Put it back and noticed that a couple of the pins on P100 had cracked solder joints. Reflowed them and the monitor is back to fully functional. Does need some tweaking though ...
