Default Blown Fuse

My TV blew a fuse and when replaced, it does the same thing. I
noticed the fuse is on the first thing the powercord connects to
(the power supply or transformer or whatever it's called). I'm
not an electronics person at all but my senses tell me it must be
that powersupply thing. I'd just like to know if it could be a
part that comes aftet that powersupply before I try to replace it
only to find out if I wasted my money.

...thanks

Something is obviously shorted, it could be something in the power supply or
it could be something after it, and without a model and chassis number
nobody is going to be able to help you beyond that. I can virtually assure
you that the problem is beyond your ability to repair and would be better
handled by an experienced technician.

Thanks, I was hoping to hear it would be guranteed to be the
powersupply... also so I don't get some runaround from some
repair person telling me a thousand things are wrong.

If you want the model, it's a RCA Colortrak 2000 (got it mid 90s)
Model number: F27201GG

Where do I find the chassis number?

(snip)

You are oversimplifying. Until a tech takes a look, it is not possible
to say if the power supply simply died on its own, or if a short in,
say, the HV section caused it to go. *No-one* can "gurantee" it is ONLY
the power supply at fault here. Although it seems like at the very
least, you have a shorted rectifier, ptc or something else very near
the AC input. There could be many things wrong besides. sorry if that's
not what you wanted to hear,....

Chassis number is usually CTC-xxxx for RCA sets.

A reputable shop will not make up problems with it, there may be a number of
things wrong which caused the power supply to blow up, nobody can give you
an accurate answer without looking at it, any number of things could have
gone wrong so anything is a guess from here.
