Default Tracking down "excessive current"




Again, no shorts here. *Everything *worked"


Pardon me but if everything "worked" fuse would Not be blowing.

My first thought to a 2-3 day fuse is an "intermittent" problem.

Some ways I handle the intermittent is by close up observation of the
boards, heating and or tapping components out.


After tracking down the problem, it occurred to me just

how hard it is to do such things.

We all know if it is not a loose connection Intermittent are not easy.


So, how *should* this problem have been approached (without

risk to the set),

As much as I hate saying/doing this - Sometimes risk is the only way
to the solution....



But since it is already fixed I think the best answer to your question
would be if we knew how you fix it.
