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...
btw i feel this a good time to remind you guys that sea of thieves was made by rare, who also made DKC1-3 and DK64, alongside banjo kazooie and conker's bad fur day
