Hi All,
Elusiver,
I am an ex Electronics technician,
Your fuse is a thermal (slow blow) 3.15 amp type.
if it has blown,there usually is a reason,and quite often you will find,that when you replace the fuse,it will blow again.
A very good indicator,is if the fuse has simply died of old age.it will just be open in the centre.
If the fuse was killed,it may look black,or have little copper coloured beads inside.
PLEASE be aware a colour tv has lethal voltages inside,EVEN WHEN UNPLUGGED,
There is 25,000 volts up on the final anode,which stays there for quite some time,just waiting for someone to touch it.
2nd thing,your blown fuse may have blown just after the main filter capacitor charged up,(at switch on),and it also has about 340 volts dc,just sitting there,with a great deal of current,which you may feel,when you try to replace your blown fuse,as it now has somewhere to go.YOU
The most dangerous power supply is the microwave oven,they have 2000volts dc at the main filter capacitor,which WILL kill you,in fact it will vaporise,the end of a screwdriver.
I just read it looks all burnt up,I will practically guarantee,it will blow again if you replace it.
You have a problem,either in the internal power supply,or the Degaussing circuit,NOT USER FIXABLE.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
Regards.John
