The unit will not turn on.  The outlet it is plugged into has power.  Is there a fuse in this unit?

These units have fuses, but that is not usually the problem.  Is there a standby light on?  If not, then there is a problem with the standby powersupply.  Without the standby, the unit will never turn on.  If the standby light is on, then the unit may be in "protection" mode and not turn on.  Usually when in the "protect" mode, puching the power switch will cause a click followed by another.  This is the unit trying to start and shutting down.  Please post info about the standby and we'll try to help further.

I replaced T1AH250V fuse the day after I posted this problem and it has worked ever since. Once you have the cover off the fuse is very easy to locate.  I had switched the breaker to the outlet off by mistake.  I guess my old surge protector wasn't working.

I'm having the same problem I returned it to the store they replced it and now the new one did the same. I have searched for a fuse (T1AH250V) but haven't had any luck. Where did you find one?

I have a TH-C30. I had the same problem where the unit just stopped working - no standby light and no recognition of power at all. After checking this forum and another, I opened the unit, found the ceramic fuse where the power comes in and went to Radio Shack. They have a T1AL250V fuse pack that is a 1 amp, 250 volt, 5 X 20 mm SLOW BLOW glass fuse which is a better fuse for this common problem. Their RS number is 270-1063 and a pack of 4 costs about $3. Put new fuse in and the problem was solved.

The repair took minutes - 3 screws on the back and two screws on each side. Lift the cover from the back (it is slip-hinged on the front) and replace the ceramic fuse. It slips out with a little help and the new one snaps in place.

same issue as everyone, except I changed the fuse, plug it in, and fuse blows immediately. Help!
