The F2 fuse of my DS is damaged and i'm searching for a replacement (bypass the fuse works, but not te best solution).
Tanks!!!

Well your on the internet, so I assume you can get to google.
I don't know what country your in, but google SMD fuse or something like that.
BTW a wire is what everyone else is using, because the fuse is so small.

Tanks for the reply. Actualy, wath I realy need is the value of the fuse.
Geting a SMD is not to hard, and there is a video-tutorial showing how to change SMD fuses o the DS.

Why would you do that?!
I replaced mines with solder.
Now it's even better.
I've noticed that the F2 blows because metal enters the DS's connectors (No, not the DS connector's metal, it's when the ds game connectors are touching metal on the curcuit board, why so many passkey 2's were poorly built)
Anyways, when you replace your F2 with solder, the ds's won't not boot up anymore! It just won't boot up while you have the defective item in the DS/GBA slot! But after that, BAM! It loads up again.
Reguards!

Replacing the fuse with a piece of wire/solder is a BAD idea.
The fuse is there to protect your DS...instead of frying your DS cpu or whatever, it fries the fuse.
Sure, it may work for now, and you may be lucky and it might never fry your DS...but do you really want to risk it?

Do there exist resettable breakers in that size?

That's NOT true!
It's there to protect my *#^!
If you'd notice, once your F2 fuse blows, no more power.
If you'd do something to make your DS's F2 Blow while you have solder replacing the F2, it'll still work.
It's ain going to fry a bean.
Keep on thinking like that. DARKFADER said it was safe.

Shorting the fuse is one layer less protection of shorting the li-ion battery. You are lucky that there is a protection ciruit in the battery itself, but if it malfunctions... there is a video how li-poly (a kind of li-ion) batteries explode over here:

SMT fuses are available at Digi-Key. DarkFader tested the fuse to be 1.5A (ifI remember correctly). But we don't know if it's fast-acting or slow-acting.

At least, safer than playing your DS with a shorted fuse and defective/cheap third-party battery.
