I know of someone here that tried to get, I think PTS, to repair one.
That turned into a fiasco. Ken Smith has more info on that he might
share. He finally got it fixed out of a combo of a couple that I had
junked.
Murphies Law, though, yours could just be something like the infamous
cr4118.
Personally I would not have taken it in, but I would check the main
supply to see if the power transistor is shorted. Just changing a fuse
is a problem. I would not go any farther.
If it was in my shop I would tell the customer it was accepted by
mistake, I don't work on it, you can come pick it up and I will refund
the diagnostic fee.
Cut your loss and back out.
