Not to be rude here but fuses exist for a reason.....
By the sounds of it there's an upstream or feedback issue causing the transistor to drive too hard and the fuse was protecting the circuit. By swapping a far higher rated fuse (a 2A is the spec I believe) and trying again sure it did work briefly but since nothing else in the circuit was rated for 5A it fried out anything that couldn't handle it.
Capacitors, transistors and the other common electronics staples are easy to replace sure but the inductor isn't something I expect to find on a shelf somewhere.
