I usually refuse to work on anything that the customer has tampered with, but this is a well known problem, at least now. Nothing to do with the vertical. Pull the convergence board out and resolder everything in sight. Also replace the two large i-c's. This is per Pioneer tech assist. I tried just the solder up on two different sets and they looked great. One stayed home, but the other came back in a few weeks with the same blown fuse. Since then, I just replace and charge for it.
