So there is a fuse in the CDTV power supply which I appear to have killed
Symptoms are dead front panel and furiously spinning power supply fan.

Re: CDTV Power Supply
Must have 12V then for the fan to be working ? assuming the fuse is ok in that case ?

Re: CDTV Power Supply
seems this fuse is for +5v rail only, 12v has its own. Almost all old fans are 12v..
Any signs of life after swapping it out?

Re: CDTV Power Supply
Confirmed fan spins with fuse removed.
Actually don’t have a replacement. I’ve ordered up a pack.
