After some armchair research I decided to go for it.

1. Removed the screws and gently pried the casing to break the seal.
2. Placed the unit in a convection and heated it to 104C/220F for half an hour
3. Secured the unit in a vice and gently pried the casing away. Using gloves and a flat screw driver. The choke was adhered to the upper casing and the potting compound broke away and the choke remained intact on the PCB.
4. I looked at the fuse and took snapshots. No burn marks or any anomalies observed inside.
5. Soldered a 2cm piece of wire over the fuse. I know this is highly NOT recommended. I’m using low voltages.
6. Repeated step 4 A FET check outlined above. [6.&nbsp;Pre-RMA test form - MPPT solar charger](https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/Pre-RMA_Bench_Test_Instructions/en/pre-rma-test-form---mppt-solar-charger.html#UUID-a02c41de-0c89-5d84-c701-4f28b6ae665b_bridgehead-idm133307965784142)  
The three lights flashed repeatedly and stopped and the blue light remained blinking @5 seconds.
