Hi,
So I was trying to repair an old shredder (Comix S310) I found in my dad's office and while I was doing so, there was a big spark and poping sound on PCB.
When I evaluated the damage, I noticed 2 things:
1. The fuse (5A 250V) was completely fried (see image one) and needed to be replaced. In the third image, the fuse has been desoldered.
2. There is also a burn mark near the fuse which I don't know the origin of (see image two). I don't know if there use to be a small electronic component there or if the spark of the fuse created this burn.
Could you help me identify the cause of this burn?
Thank you in advance!
