A surge tore my tv power supply fuse apart. I thought buying a new fuse will do the trick - it blew it as well. My troubleshooting took me farther to the Capacitor and the big guy said he was OK. The 4 diodes 2 were OK. So I was wondering whether the new 3A fuse I bought was too small?
I also series-ed the television with a 100W bulb, according to this site: https://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_smpsfaq.html a persistent problem in the PSU would make the bulb go very bright, mine didn't even light up at full load. My question what else could be the problem? Could I have wrongly connected something, switched polarity? I'm avoiding uprooting the regulator for the moment..
