Gotta love people who think like that :-) Fuses rarely blow for no reason. The cause *may* be easy to fix, or just as likely difficult and/or expensive! If you have to ask I suggest it will not be easy for YOU to fix however, unless buying a new set is an "easy fix" :-)
MrT.
What is that likely to cost? If it is more than say, $50, then clearly that would be very stupid course of action.
Buying a new set would not be an easy fix.
Surely there would be a fuse near the power supply to handle power surges.

** Go find it and replace it, should be rated between 2 to 5 amps.Be sure to buy a "slow blow" type - will have the letter " T " in front of the amp rating.

Such things have been known to happen !
A bugger on my JVC to get at the fuse. I finally fixed the problem by adding a surge arrester across the incoming mains.

Graham mate, welcome aboard. No, English was not my best subject at school. That would be chemistry. I'll tell you something for nothing though, I know what the word pretentious means.
Cheers
Eeek. I'd be more inclined to replace it with the exact specified type.

Pretentious, moi ?!!!

Prehentious would be someone who wrongly assumes that a poster directed at Graham would be intended for Geoff.
No 'prehentious' would be somebody with a tail to tell.

If you are in Sydney call Phil Allison, our resident "expert". On second thoughts don't bother. It's a TV you want fixed, not a toaster. :-(
Hi Fuckwit ....Phil (hey , great sig !).
So the label on the back of the chassis says "Fuse spec, between 2 and 5 amps, slow-blow" ?

I would expect that the orderly will be around soon with your medication, and a fresh straight jacket for you..

I've finally got round to doing this. I've seen the warning on the back of the TV that says "Do not remove cover. Electric shock."
Two questions:
there is often still a risk of electric shock. best practice is to stand on an insulating surface and only touch the internals of TV with one hand (and no other body part)
large electric charges may be stored in the capacitors near the power section and in the CRT itself.
Usually, yes. in most cases the fuse will not blow unless some other part of the TV is faulty, so the makers have no incentive to make the fuse easily accessible,
