Hi

I have a 5200HC 100189 about 8 years old. I have now changed it to an upgraded SE. As such the old 5200 was unplugged and put to one side for several days. On powering up again it keeps blowing the glass fuse at its mains socket. Enquiry has suggested, and the symptoms seem to be the case, that the capacitors have gone right down and the power board has become "defective" hence blown fuses.

I can send it back to Meridian but at the same time I am not without experience with a soldering iron and have changed capacitors and such in the past. Are you able to offer any guidance on same and how readily the back panel is removed to gain access or is their a "work sheet" available. Obviously I can then make judgement on replacing the capacitors which seems a good idea in any case.

Thank you
