Hi guys,

Have this drive in, doesn't power up at all which instantly pointed me to a PCB problem.

Checked the TVS diodes, both were okay. Am I correct I saying that 'F1' is a fuse? If so it is most probably the fault.

Can somebody confirm?

Many Thanks,
DR

Yes, it is fuse. Replace or bridge with solder

Sorry for the triple post.

Replaced the bridged solder, and now the drive is working.

In the words of Borat, Great Success!
