K7000 Blowing Fuses On Power Up (yet another thread)
So a friend has a K7000 that is smoking fuses on power up. After finally getting my Local413 special working I felt kind of ok taking a look at it.
First thing I did was look at the flyback, it had some tasty ooze.
Next I tested the HOT. Totally smoked.
Checked C38 and all was well.
C37, shorted.
So I rolled up my sleeves and took out the fly/HOT and wowza, C69 was TOAST, as well as C36. I decided to stop there and drop my buddy a line to see if he wanted to pony up the $$ for parts. I told him I couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be more stuff down the line that had taken a hit.
I think it would be best for him to send this out to someone with more experience. That being said, last year I wouldn't know where to start with these, I was able to get this far today thanks to all of you guys. So many thanks.
