Hello,
I dusted off an old Kenwood receiver, plugged it in and nothing but the standby light came on after repeatedly pressing the power button. I took the paneling off and found that the 6.3AL 250V fuse was blown. Replaced the fuse, plugged the unit back into the wall and the damn thing burst into flames in some random spot on the main circuit board. The new fuse was blown, too. I replaced the 2nd fuse. Near where the fire happened, I found some adjustable nobs and turned them using trial and error. adjustment found a spot for the nob that prevents the fire from restarting when I plug the receiver back in. So now the LCD and everything is coming on for about 10 seconds and then shutting down. The standy light starts flashing. Can you help?????

Check the channels most likely one is blown. Also flip it over and do a vary close check on all the tiny resistors chances are one will be blown as well. Hope that helps..
You are literally playing with fire. Obviously the unit is in dire need of service! Please, take unit in for check out by a pro/tech
I agree with you...if you don't know your way around a receiver board dont mess with it.. all the capacitors will most likely still be holding a charge, and could get you shocked!! I bought a broken receiver that was kind of same condition only fuses went blown. I pulled the board and under a mag I found no damage on board. So I removed all 4 mosfets and put it back together powered it on and got life then fuses popped.i replaced the mosfets and tried again fuses popped again. Did some testing on all the resistors and found 1 burnt one replaced it and everything powered on and is working perfectly .
