Re: CDJ 800 blown fuse??
| quote: | Originally posted by A.B
I am based in the UK and purchased a US 120V CDJ 800 some years ago due to the shortage of the player in the UK at the time.
I loaned the players to a mate and stated that he would have to ensure that the correct cable was plugged in with the adaptor fitted.......
Guess what? he used the standard UK cable for the other player (UK model)
and said it didn't power up.
I'm hoping it's just the fuse........
Does anyone have any advice on getting the fuse replaced? Is it easy enough to do?
Any advice greatly appreciated. |
Yes, mate, they do have a glass fuse. Your friend has obviously plugged it in without the transformer.
Just undo the screws underneath and carefully remove the housing, being obsevant of the PCB attached ribbon cables.
Towards the top of the unit, you'll see the big internal power transfer and next to that is a small glass fuse. Pop that out, go to your local hardware/electrical store (ryness is a safe bet if there's one near you) and get the same fuse.
Pop that in do it up and power on. If that doesn't work then basically then you should chin your mate as he's killed your internal transformer and a new one will set you back at least 120 notes.
One thing though before you do all this - are you sure he didn't kill your step down transformer? Those things are cheap and if they get too hot they stop working.
If you don't have another working step down transfformer handy, then find a electrical item in your house that is dual voltage or is switchable, and swap the plug (and if you can't swap the plug, just take the UK plug off and put the flattened bare wires in socket of the transformer for a quick test).
Of course, this is all done at your own risk and don't blame me if you fry yourself.
