Causes and Solutions
Cause 1: Fuses.
Solution 1: If a fuse blows, it could be because of a power surge or a
component failure. Replace the fuse once. DO NOT replace the fuse with one
of a higher current rating. Always replace the fuse with one of the same rating,
voltage, and type. If the fuse blows a second time, it is likely caused by failure
of a component part.
