The fuse on the cRio circuit board is a large (1208?) white or yellow surface mount part right by the power connector on the front edge of the cRio, it should have a 2A, 5A, or 10A stamped on the top (i don't remember the value). Given the description it is almost certainly the issue. I would not recommend replacing it yourself, contact NI and they will send you one immediately, they are very nice people to work with.
there is some good information in this post:

Thanks so much. I'll be sure to shoot NI an email and call them Monday during our meeting. Yeah we've opened it up and thought that was the fuse. And it is labeled with "2A" (x's being something that I can't remember).
