Greetings!
Glad to hear it is only the fuse. I don't know if you are comfortable with the soldering to replace it or not, but identifying the source of the problem is more than half the battle.
I find it interesting that the Mark 1 doesn't have the USB problem with XP... Tony: was the USB problem fixed in the internal releases, or are it still being actively worked on? Could be an interesting clue...
