So, for a project I am working on building, I disassembled a monitor and had it set up in my new emulator I am building. It is just a crappy 15 inch gateway monitor like this one.

but I have gotten rid of all housings so it is just he lcd panel, backlight, and circuit components. The other day while I was doing some tinkering, I plugged it back in, and the fuse popped and started smoking. I quickly unplugged it, but now I need a new fuse. Does anyone know where I can find one?
on the end of the fuse it reads et3.15ah250v
Monitor is a FPD1520
 
You can often find an equivalent at Mouser or Digikey, sometimes they even have photo's to compare.

In your case it seems like modified search terms will help, for example i tried T3 15ah and look what i found: http://www.electronicspoint.com/fuse-blown-18-flat-screen-t103320.html

I wonder if there's a match in this list: http://www.mouser.com/Circuit-Protection/PTC-Resettable-Fuses/_/N-5g3e?Keyword=15ah+250v&FS=True

If you can find what you're looking for at mouser that would be great, their shipping on small individual parts is dirt cheap.

Sorry i don't have a straight up answer, but i've been here before, it can be a real pain finding small obscure parts.
