[TechAssist] Re: Panasonic CT32G31U blows line fuse

Does the fuse go black?  If not why not try a larger fuse.  When the set
first comes on is the highest current draw.  Years ago we had to replace
4 amp fuses with 5 amp fuses in middle 80's Mitsubishi/electrohome
console TV's, otherwise they kept blowing for no good reason.

I found only one entry in my techCD program for this model: 
Picture fluctuates: shrinks... Check/replace D556.
Might be good to look into that.Sounds like regulator circuitry,could be
in your area of trouble.
