Another electrical item playing up - needing your advice on please!
Our DVD player (Sony, with surround sound) which is about 2 weeks under 2 years old, has decided to go pop

3 weeks ago it blew a fuse in the plug, this was 2 days after we had moved it all back after having new carpets.
AK changed the fuse (13amp), all was well.
Last night I went to put it on, and nothing happened
AK changed the fuse - it worked
However, when we put it on again tonight - bother me, the damned thing wont work again

Has anyone got any ideas for AK to check out please? (he said if it was only like a bike wiring he would be ok! )

I would start off by looking for dents in the bottom, loose bits inside or maybe a dry joint., it shouldn't require a 13 AMP fuse I would have thought a 3 Amp or 5 Amp would be the norm, so if its blowing a 13 Amp there is either a low resistance path (short) somewhere or its drawing a lot of current for some reason.

...which is very environmentally friendly

If I were you and I could, I'd rather fix it. Would save me having to dump it.

Put an M10 bolt in instead of a fuse, then you can find out where the real problem lies
