The fuse on my external Hard Drive blew. I replaced the fuse, with a 5A fuse,
which is higher than the power requirement, and it blew too.

There are no schematics available, and the Technical Assistance number is
defunct. The problem is "obviously" :) in what seems to be a really fancy
power supply board. There is one part here on the 115V side,
which I have no idea what it is. 

It sort of looks like a small SilverOxide battery which has been dipped in 
tar, and has two leads emanating from it. Says CAL-R 2SS40 on it...

Can anyone help identify the part, how to find out its rating ? The leads 
are of equal length but they look like they've been snipped.


Thanks in advance.
