Mr. Gazz - a t.v. repairman is NOT and engineer. An engineer title is acheived by AT LEAST a Bachelors of Science degree in Engineering. TV techs just basically remove modules and order parts. Sometimes solder.

correction: TV Service Technician. Engineers require at the minimum a Bachelors degree

thanks for that i have only tred one fuse then took it to shop for them to look at. was just wondering what the cause could be so i dont get ripped off

With no electronics knowledge you are asking for trouble if you attempt to keep feeding it with fuses you could cause further damage, the problem is most likley to be in the power supply circuit, or a transistor short circuit drawing lots of power, call in a tv engineer he can locate the fault without burning the house down.

I work in TV and Electronics and have seen many simple to repair faults made into disasters by joe public playing repair man.
