Hi folks. Try to keep a long story short...ages ago I had a laseractive with a snapped power supply pcb and just attempted to fix it by using utilising my eyes, I plugged it and pressed the power button and it powered on for a split second and then the fuse blew. Now to the modern day, I went over all the traces with a multimeter and saw that I did still have 2 broken traces. After fixing these the fuse blows as soon as it is plug it in, don't even have chance to press the power button. Does this sound like a component is damaged or I still have messed up the traces? Thanks for any guidance.
It may be a stupid question, but I have to ask it since you aren't saying where you live: is your country's voltage 100V-120V or 220V-240V? Because if you live in Europe/Australia, you need to use a step-down transformer since the LaserActive works with 100V-120V. If the problem does not come from voltages, then sorry, I can't help you.
Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I tried to keep the message short as I tend to ramble on! I live in Europe and used a transformer. I recently got a panasonic q to repair and tested it on this transformer and it worked OK.
