Pioneer VSX-3800 keep blowing fuses when powered on

I have a Pioneer VSX-3800 Receiver and for some reason one day it wouldn't power on. I removed lid, and noticed one of the fuses was blown. I replaced the 1.25 fuse, plugged it in and it blew the replacement fuse. This unit has sentimental value and I do not want to replace it or get rid of it.

SOURCE: JVC RX-318 keeps blowing fuses

could be several things, speaker wires touching,shorted output transistors, a shorted rectifier diode,bad filter caps in the power supply,those are the most common

SOURCE: sony str-de845 Powers up, relay clicks, fuses BLOW!

This condition, may be produced by defective components (Q506, Q507). you can remove those transistor, replace the fuses, power-on and wait for relays click. if the fuses not blown again, them replace both transistor.

SOURCE: Blows main fuse when power is turned on

Shorted power supply/module is most likely problem.

How to make a Pioneer vsx-816k/s last longer

I really don't recommend this product to anyone, or any newer pioneer products for that matter (except the elite line). This model has the "hybrid" design, which is a very flawed design. At first the speakers will start cutting in and out, and then some of them wont work at all, and then the receiver will flash "overload" and the receiver will go into a permanent protection, all because the receiver cant handle the resistance of the speakers(doesn't matter what speaker it is). Once in protect mode, press ENTER+ ADVANCED SURROUND and it will tell you what the problem is causing it to stay in protect mode. In order to keep this from happening, use external amps. Pioneer wants around 500 dollars to fix it if its out of warranty, it will cost at least 50 to fix it yourself, in most cases it will cost 150 to fix it yourself (most cases all 3 power modules will go out, or as pioneer calls them, power packs). If you have an older vsx model (50s-80s) then it is usually worth fixing. If your having problems with pioneer vsx 3600, 3700s, 3800, or 3900s, send me an email at [email protected] and i will help you the best i can

VSX-518 NO POWER

Check the internal fuse. If found damaged, check for its reason. Without rectifying the reason; if any; never insert an other fuse in place. Check for damaged component/s at it audio output section circuit. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Pioneer VSX-519V Multi-channel receiver won't turn on.

You could have blown the fuse in the unit, or worse still blown the output device(s) in the power amp.

Standy light on but wont power up

You could have a blown channel. This will keep your receiver from turning on. It is a protect feature to keep you from damaging more components
