I have a 24' sylvania color tv that suddenly stopped working. I discovered that the fuse had blown out but when I replaced it with another one it immediately blew again why would that happen? There were no other components plugged in at the time, just the tv alone.
Because theres something else down the line that made the fuse blow, something shorted. Dont worry most people who replace the fuse happens to them to. Recycle it. or Get it repaired.
one of the 4 large rectifier diodes is shorted causing the fuse to blow. The diodes are part # 1N4608. Replaced the shorted diode and fuse and you will be in business.
