Hi
I have a Beogram CD7000 that seems to have no power to it. It was working perfectly before I sold it on ebay but it was returned 26 days after the sale not working!! Good old paypal!!
My suspicion is that the buyer has wired the plug wrongly by changing it from the 2 pin plug to a 3 pin. Is there a fuse inside it ? I cannot see one that is obvious? Or do I presume it is completely dead?
Thanks for any advice

There is a thermal fuse set at 130 degrees but this would seem unlikely to be the problem. Tricky to see how changing the plug could break it - there are only two wires and I cannot think of what he could have done to blow it! Of course by changing the plug one could argue he has modified the item! Have you check the three pin plug itself? Fuse in there and possible loose wiring?

Hi,
Yes there is a thermal fuse but it's stuck between the transformer coils and it is of a special type. You cannot replace with standard fuse unfortunately.
On mine, it had blown because an electrolytic had shorted in the PSU. The very reason why I had it for €30!
Edit: oops Peter you were fast!

Thanks
yes checked everything in the main plug. I just don't know what else he would have done to it. Unfortunately completely dead at the moment??
My other thought is whether it is as simple as a cracked solder joint from the transport. Boring I know but you will need to do a bit of power finding from the transformer.
I'm with Peter here.There is a fairly large Molex type connector near the leftmost edge of the main board.It's solder joints is often found cracked.An easy fix if this is indeed the case here.

Thank you
I will investigate in the daylight tomorrow. As it was posted and then returned I would imagine it may have been thrown around a bit??
No doubt.And the solder joints crack from vibrations.
Check the whole board. There can be cracked solder joints elsewhere too, around the voltage regulators and otherlarge components.
