| 1179826 | 2011-02-19 22:02:00 | Can anyone recommend (or test) somewhere close to Ellerslie I can get a couple of 250v ceramic fuses tested - and replace if necessary? This is a DIY attempt to troubleshoot a TV that doesn't not work. Anymore. :( |

If the fuse has blown then there is a problem with the circuitry that the fuse is protecting, say the power supply. If the fuse has blown and is replaced, it will just blow again. There is a remote faint possibility one of the 2 fuses has just got tired and quietly given up the ghost though. If you don't have a multimeter then just a flash light bulb and battery with fuse in series to test continuity. |
