I'm fairly new at this myself, but it looks like that is safe and the recommended way to boot OFW. See:

That fuse is there for a reason! If you short the fuse, whatever caused the fuse to blow the first time will cause your DS to blow the second time.
Short it only temporarily to verify the issue.
For me the GBA SP (AGS101) is the best console in terms of portability, repairability, and comfort. It's easy to see the screen and the clamshell design fits in almost anything -- tons of great games too. I'd love to do an IPS mod, but the 101 works well enough for now and I see no reason to fix...
@The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
