...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

Could be as simple as dust/shite build up thats moved about when you moved it, take the cover off and give it a good (gentle) hoover with the hairy attachment.

If that doesn't work i agree with 'rcgbob44', it be throw away technology these days, nothings built to last anymore. If it lastest forever no one would ever buy anything new and worl economies would colapse

(just my opinion)

Cheers,

Unless you have a wiring diagram, there's not a lot you are going to be able to do - assuming a wiring diagram was available, which gave test points and the expected voltages at each, you could (depending on your abilities etc) possibly identify if this was just a faulty component like a resistor etc, but without a wiring diag, you really are shooting in the dark. - and I agree with previous posts, there is absolutely no way a DVD unit should be running anything higher than a 5amp fuse. You might want to check your other similar appliances for over-weight fuses, unless they have smaller internal fuses to blow sooner, 13 amp fuses are not protecting your kit from damage !

cheers all - AK has done all the above, and also lobbed some switch cleaner in it too.
Changed fuse again for 3amp and this gets the standby lamp on, but as soon as you try to turn it on the light flashes a couple of times and then it goes dead

Cant afford to replace this right now........ rebuilding the race bike is more important

If anyone has an amp that we can cobble our speakers into for the moment, (we can run the old dvd player - argos 6 years ago for £40), do let us know
