Pulled the only fuse shown on the schematic that was taped inside the

Replaced the fuse.

Re-attached the housing and.......

.... it worked!!! ????


My only guess is that there was some sort of thermal circuit breaker
(that I am too clueless to ID on the schematic) and it returned to
normal temp during disassembly/reassembly. Doesn't really hold water
though, bc after initial failure it sat for a good hour and the period
of use before it stopped working was sooooo short.

Go figure....




Slight oxidation of the contacts.

Had to do the same with the power supply output for my computer
yesterday. I just had to unplug it and replug.
