Fuses usually don't blow unless something has gone bad, like a power transistor or chip that's shorted, and often those short out because electrolytic capacitors go bad, as others have suggested. BadCaps.net has several forums about electronics repair, including one about monitors. Also check YouTube videos

I've recovered 'dead' Trinitron monitors from the NYC sidewalk just by replacing the failed slow-blow fuse in the input line. After 18 months one's still working great, the other is in reserve waiting its turn. -- Terry V. |
