Can you please tell me how am i supposed to replace these fuses ? They are mounted on the pcb surface and i don't have a hot air station.

#1 you don't need a hot air station. You can use a soldering iron, easier when using two irons, one for each side of the fuse - at least for de-soldering.
#2 before replacing the fuse find the fault that caused the fuse to blow. Otherwise the new fuse will most likely blow immediately at turn-on.
Obviously the varistor next to the fuse is blown, too. At least.

A conventional soldering iron would achieve the same result - I'd use clippers to remove the major parts of the fuse itself to give better access to the copper pads for soldering.

Can't say I agree with the cheapskate fuse installation method...

Have you checked for the reason why the component 'popped'? Could be other faults further in the circuitry.

Hey there, Speedy Gonzales!

Thank you for your reply. I was thinking maybe it was a temporary surge of current due to an overvoltage. I will try what you explain and intend to replace the varistor as well

I have done a visual inspection but haven't found anything so far, no burning traces, nothing. I'd like to think that there was some surge of current because of a temporary voltage spike...but i Can be wrong.

Replacing fuses on a PCB surface without a hot air station can be tricky. It is possible but would require a few extra steps. You will need to be careful when using a soldering iron to remove the fuse as you could damage the board or cause a short. It would be best to use a desoldering braid to remove any solder from the fuse before attempting to remove it. Once the fuse is out, you can then use a soldering iron to attach the new fuse. Make sure you use the correct wattage when soldering. I hope this helps!

Thank you, I appreciate your kind contribution. I'm taking notes and i will try to apply all the advice toi have all given me so far.
Thank you very much

Did you try using the crystal ball
If you have a junk board or electronics that do not work any longer I would practice on that even if it's through hole with the soldering iron I would apply more solder then use solder wick it will wet a lot faster and suck it up (one side) the other side add solder until wet & it will pop right off. If it's variable temperature soldering iron I turn mine up to light speed ...all the way up & (literally) all it takes is one second when touching the solder pad. But this is of course technique . Hence the practice board. I say this with confidence only because I burned off all the nerve endings on my fingers. Now I can play the guitar.
Be careful!!
