Is it time to change the big blues when that 25 amp 32 volt fuse upgrade all of the sudden starts blowing on start up? It never did it before..the other day it just started blowing. I put 3 fuses in one after the other and 1 to 2 seconds into being on it blows.

Big blues are the original ones.
 
big blue needs replacing regardless

probably the monitor chassis has a problem
the flyback went bad and shorted the voltage regulator who knows
maybe other things could have happened, who knows until you open it up and look
 
Hmm... I think I would check the bridge rectifier myself. I think I've replaced the one in my Star Wars a couple of times. And change out the big blue as has been mentioned.
 
This has been resolved. It was a bad rectifier. I took one out of another pp cab and put it in my main pp with the fuse blowing issue and it lit right up..played a few games with zero issues.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions....following your direction brought me to the promise land.

Note: it was not the big blues..i swapped them out one at a time and fuse kept blowing....so it was definitley the rectifier...the big blues i swapped out are still in the game and everything working fine.

But it is a pole position..only a matter of time huh? Haha..i'll enjoy it while i can.
