Powerbook g4 bad fuse on the logicboard, Battery not charging

Ive seen many people with this same problem on different forums and havent found any answer on how to fix this.

The main problem is that the Powerbook only works with the AC adapter, and the battery is detected on the PC but is not charging. Even if you change the battery for a new one, it wont work.

The main problem is a fuse located on the logic board.Exactly this one:

Its a littelfuse 5a SMD. Here i put a pic of my board.The red boxes are where the fuse are located. So there must be something wrong on the logic board.
