I opened my emac to clean it up and also because it wasn't turning on, I found out that the fuse was blown and had a little blue peace loose, I don't know how is called but is right next to the fuse. I welded back and assembled again but still burns the fuse. What do I have to check for in order to fix it.

Just checking did you replace the fuse?
Also which eMac do you have (is the fuse of the right or the left side when you are looking at it)?
Thanks for helping, yes, I did replace the fuse twice and burned out twice. Looking at the computer in front of the screen, the fuse is located on the left side.
Various sites I've looked on suggest that there may be a short in the system. Make sure everything's wired correctly and there are no loose wires etc.
If the fuse is on the left I think you might have the newer eMac which means I might not be able to help you out by poking at my own system. I'm away from Moby Dick (my eMac) right now so as soon as I catch that whale I'll let you know if there are any similarities in the system to double check your wiring, if you want.
My eMac is burning up the fuse as soon as I plug it in.
