The other day I was pushing my tv into the cabinet and suddenly there was a loud pop and a puff of smoke came out of the top of my Onkyo TX-SR603x machine (top right, above where the dial is). ( I think the component cables on the back of the tv touched together when I pushed the tv in.) The standby light is still on, but when you press the 'on' button, it turns on for about 15 seconds, then back to standby. Is this just a blown fuse or something bigger? Since I am out of warranty, I am trying to decide whether to buy a new receiver or have this one fixed. (I bought it 4 years ago.)
Does not sound like the fuse.
its easy to check. unplug unit and remove the cowling / shroud of the unit. the internal fuse will look like a car fuse. the old round style about 1" long and 1/4" round.
sounds like a bigger problem. hope this helps.
To do the reset you need to turn the receiver on, then on the front panel of the receiver press and hold the "VCR/DVR" button while doing that press the "STANDBY/ON" button. You will see the word "Clear" in the display screen and the receiver will go into standby mode. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR AUDIO & VIDEO ASSIGNMENTS ON THE RECEIVER PLUS YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR SPEAKER CONFIGURATIONS, SPEAKER DISTANCE AND ALL LEVEL CALIBRATION SETTINGS. YOU WILL ALSO LOSE ANY PROGRAMMED RADIO STATIONS IN MEMORY. Once the receiver goes into standby mode turn it back on and go thru the setup menu for all custom settings., Thanks, JT

Ok, I thought it was a bigger problem. I haven't checked the fuses yet, but if it is a bigger problem, is it worth getting fixed or start hunting for a new receiver?
