The more you replace the fuse

The more you replace the fuse and it blows, the more damage it is going to cause.in the power supply circuit!   A Fuse very rarley blows for not reason!.  A fuse is there to prevent the set from starting on fire!  I have seen peeps short out the fuse, and their home catches on fire!  Then they try to blame me!  As I told them, try the fuse ONCE!!!! Only once!.  If it blowes again, there is a major short inside this TV set.  Since you think I can guess what type and model of a TV set you have, My answer wil be a simple guess!  You have a shorted, bridge rectifier diode assembly, the main b+ capacitor is shorted, or you have a problem in the main Power supply or maybe the horizontal section of this TV set.  As I see it, you do not have a lot of experience with serviceing, solid state electronics, and if that is true, my best advice is to call in a pro to assist you with this repair.  Good luck, and please let us know how this repair turns out for you.
