Greetings,
I purchased a near mint deck that doesnt power up. Although the label at the back says 220V it had a US plug (I am in UK 240v). Seller said it was to plug to other equipment inlet.
There is no power and checked transformer with DMM and had no voltage on secondary. The primary side on the 0-110-220 pins had no resistance between 0 and 220 so my assumption is an open thermal fuse. With no visible bulge on the transformer, I opened the plastic cap of the trafo and in between 0 and 110 there was a point of a winding which my assumption is that its the side after the fuse. I soldered a wire and plugged it in and now I get 24-0-24 on secondary side.
Does it mean that it works and I just bypassed the burned fuse? Should I connect it to the deck to troubleshoot further?
The deck doesnt seem to have any obvious damage to the circuit other than a burnt icp-n25 fuse after the secondary.
Many thanks for any help
