    Does the fuse blow with nothing plugged in except main power?

      Open it up, look for a shorted rectifier. Look for loose hardware inside. Does it rattle if shaken?

      Did it blow a fuse with ALL little power cords unplugged from it? (Other than the mains cord of course.) one of the little cords could be shorted or damaged.

        the unit was unloaded-nothing plugged into it AFTER I replaced the fuse and powered up which resulted in another blown fuse.opened unit.no burns or burned odor.no shorted regulators or diodes.no rattles or loose components. torroidal transformer seems to be shorted on all legs.
