Fuses are nice because they make things not work instead of catching fire. However, most fuses of this size are of the self-resetting type. Either way, if a fuse has blown, there's likely a fault of some kind elsewhere.

To be honest, there is no point to a fuse on a board like this anyway; they are designed to be sacrificial, but if the board is not user-serviceable, what is the sacrifice going to protect? In Edward's shoes I would seriously consider using a bit of conducting epoxy to simply short whichever fuse is dead (which can be discovered with a schematic and an ohmmeter).
