Im having trouble with my Back to Basics Blender Solution 5500 Blender it will not start and i just would like to know if i should throw it out or try to fix it.

You can find the manual for the Back to Basics Solution 5500 Blender here:

I need a lid for Smoothie Duo - Back to Basics CA3504

There is not much you get of any particualr blender manual but to be univeral with your old one. there are the speeds for the diffferent actions and the baldes for the different functions.
Only if there are many attachements must youknow how to fix them but these are very basics and can be checked out easliy.

This is straight from the manufacturer:
Canada - Warranty Information
If your appliance is within the warranty period and you are experiencing difficulties please contact us 800-688-1989 or e-mail us at Customer Service. The Back to Basics Web site currently accepts and ships orders within the continental United States only.

Do you have any friends in the US that you could ship to? It would probably be prohibitively expensive compared to the cost of a new one.

Their website has replacement parts:

Here is the link to the owner's manual:

I removed the motor coupling and after troubleshooting the blender found that the thermal fuse was blown. I think Radio Shack might have the fuse I need if not I know an online site that definitely does.

Here is the link to the website for replacement parts and also where to get the manual on the bottom of the page:
