Fuses blow afer power surge
posted by BikeBoy on Jan 02, 2008
After a power surge, the VCR blew the 1.6a main fuse. Replacement fuses blow as soon as the VCR is plugged into a power outlet.
I assume a diode and/or cap in the power supply has shorted. I have no schematic and am unable to troubleshoot the power supply or determine the value of some components. Any suggestions?

GuruThese are switch mode power supplies and very difficult to
repair. If you don't find all the blown components, they just
blow up again when you try it. If that model has a separate
module for the supply, you can try and order a replacement, but they
usually are too expensive.
What model is it? Maybe I have a junker I can take the supply from for you?
