Re: Toshiba 42H81 Blows Fuse at Random



It doesn't specify. If it always blew instantly, I would indeed suspect that
the inrush current was too much for it. But once the set is warmed up, it
shouldn't be drawing anywhere near 5 amps (at least not on the B+ supply,
which is where I assume this is). Some component must be shorting
intermittently, and finding it isn't going to be easy unless someone can
fill me in on a known issue with these sets.

This 2001 model projection set has a tough problem to track down, so I'm
hoping someone can give me some advice. Fuse F850 (5A), in the power
supply, will blow at random intervals - sometimes when trying to power
up, or the set might run fine for hours, days, or even weeks. Just
thought I'd check for any known issues with this set, before attempting
what could be a long and frustrating job.
Maybe you have the wrong fuse in there?

Most likely requires a slow blow type..
