OK. We've found the fuse!

Now; why did it blow?

Expect 5000 more posts in this thread on the subject of whether it is safe,
or not, for a person with, presumably, limited? electronic skills and test
equipment to try and repair a, presumably colour? 27 inch TV which can have
very high (read lethal) voltages of many thousands of volts. Presuming
again, it is of the cathode ray tube type? Which under certain circumstances
can emit X.Rays!

Puzzled the OP didn't ask the original 'fuse' question on an
'Electronics/scientific' repair group!

Be careful! Hope the OP gets lucky with just replacing the fuse. But as with
anything fuses are there for reasons; which include protection of human
health, safety and property!
