I fied this set the fault was R801 suerge resistor in the supply line now need some advice the original value of the resistor was 1.5 ohmes 7watts since i din't have 7watts i replaced with 1.5 ohms 5watts is this ok. thankyou.
It is not good to replace the Watts of a resistor for a lower wattage the best thing you can do is if you didn't find the 7 watts resistor replace it for a 1.5 ohms 10 watts or more if you can't find that one you can always use a resistor with higher watts but not with lower than marked on the actual resistor , this is because the comsumption of amps of the resistor can damage a lower wattage resistor.
I would not recomend replacing the 7w with the 5w, beacuse the resistor will allways run hot, hotter then the resistor should be. the resistor could possible melt anything that touches it & will not last as long as the original before it goes bad. find a 7w, if just for safty reasons.
