Bad idea.  You should never use a fuse with a higher rating than the
original.  If the fuse is blowing, that's because there's a fault in the
circuit, and a higher-rated fuse will NOT fix that.  It may allow more
components to be damaged, though.

Repair of switching power supplies can be tricky.  I don't recommend
even attempting it unless you can visually identify a damaged component,
and find an *exact* replacement.  Many components in switchers are
safety-critical, and sometimes even components that appear to have similar
ratings are not safe to substitute.
