Point taken Martin, i will get a new fuse.......I see that there are different types of fuse available , i need a 500ma 250v one but it seems that there are different "blowing" points of fuse available, can someone tell me which type to buy?

Thanks again Sandy.

rfc1:

Got the fuse out, guessing its the right one its got colored lines on it.

can i just check it with a continuity tester?

Is it ok to try the beogram with silver paper round the fuse to check operation?

Sandy

Yes, you can check the fuse out of circuit with a continuity tester. It should have full continuity.

NO, it's absolutely NOT ok to wrap silver paper, alu foil or anything else around a fuse, it's there
to protect your Beogram, your house and you.
A fuse blows for a reason and, ideally, you should check that reason before fitting a new fuse.
However, a fuse can blow for what looks like no reason, usually from a voltage surge or burst and
it will be ok to fit a new fuse and try powering up the Beogram again.
If that fuse also blows, there is DEFINITELY something wrong that needs to be repaired.
Shorting a fuse will just cause something else - somewhere else - to burn.

There is an internal fuse on the power supply board which is prone to failure.

If the deck is completely dead then it will be that fuse.

Hi all, tried to play a few discs this evening ,but my beogram 6500 seems totally dead.... I have a full beosystem 6500 set-up and all was fine about 2 weeks ago, every other component works ok. Tried the obvious like plug fuse on the beogram but still nothing. Any help anyone?

ESP you Lee, as you sold me it, albeit 4 years ago.!!!!!!!

Cheers Sandy.
