my dead polisher
« on: 04 August 2009, 17:59:34 »
Any clues as to what the black square is?

As you can see there were some scorch marks between it and the fuse holder.  :-? As suspected the corrrect 5A fuse blew straight away.
I know it's only a Halfords polisher but if I could easily fix it .......

As another comment, these items often fail with a short circuit diode which takes out the fuse in a very dramatic fasion!

Changed bloody loads on TV's!
