the white box looks like it's connected to the grey box at the top as well
turn the grey box off before you unscrew the small screw that holds the fuse in the white box
replace with teh same size fuse

if in doubt, spend money on doing it properly

what cowboy did that? its a mess.... trying to look at it I would say its the fused spur in the top left corner.. to be ultra safe switch off the grey box on right with mem on it. unscrew fuse cover on fused spur, put new fuse in and try it again.. depending what lights you have in your office it may be that 6amp is a little on the low side


that instal really needs a proper dis board putting up

You can check the grey one easier as the fuse in the white one will require amutimeter tocheck it.

that should be re wirable with appropriate fuse wire... but looking at that it looks fooked. basically u have taken out the rewirable fuse , but there shoul be screws either end if it where you can secure the fuse wire. is it my eyes but has one of the ends totally melted?
