Yes, it's a cheap part. See this post for more info: http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/278050/

If you're not using a battery and USB at the same time, you can even just short it out.

Or you can get this as a replacement: http://uk.farnell.com/nxp/pmeg3005aea/diode-schottky-sod-323/dp/8737975

I must say, I prefer the self-resetting fuses, rather than these ones you need to replace... <.<

:) yes, the 1v4 has a fuse on it. I hadn't thought they'd get shorted out as often as they do!
