Hello, I was hoping somebody could help me figure out how to fix a Sony surround sound AV receiver my little brother blew up while at college. This is more of a learning excercise than anything else. What it is is a Sony STR-D790 Pro-Logic AV receiver. The story I got from him was he had a party and they needed more speakers. Well they hooked up god knows how many to the stereo outputs and it worked for he says 10 minutes then nothing. As it sits now when you push the power button a small LED indicator lights up for surround sound but nothing else. I opened up the case and found a blown fuse. This fuse is located on a board where the main power cable comes into the unit. It is one of two. The blown fuse is a 6.3A 125V fuse, the other non blown fuse is a 3.51A 250V. I tried replacing the blown fuse but it blows right away as soon as the power is turned on. Where do I begin troubleshooting to even see if this is fixable. Like I said it is more of a learning excercise than anything.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Eric
