No idea what ampage it is but it's a fuse of some kind.Many thanks for reply. Do you know what the component is called for ordering purposes? M
Ah that's brilliant. Many thanks.No idea what ampage it is but it's a fuse of some kind.
If you test continuity and it fails then I assume any fuse of the same ampage will do the same job, just solder one in.
If your PSU is 3 or 4 amp then I'd use a 3 or 4 amp fuse.
It doesn't have to be the exact one, a fuse is a fuse
I'm not an electrician so probably of no further use here. I wouldn't go chasing components around the board or it could take forever, it might be time to get a new box, but not another HD51, they obviously have a fault from manufacturing considering so many of them go the same wayAs it turns out the fuse at F3 is not blown. I got the beep when checking for continuity. So, the problem must be further up the line.
I think it's just a design fault. There is no power switch on the back of the box and people plug the power cable in when it is already switched on and live, causing arcing.I'm not an electrician so probably of no further use here.
