Hello! I am new to the forum, and I don’t have a lot of background in electonics... My Technics SU-V5 amplifier was working properly, and then suddenly went off, and I couldn't turn it back on. There was a slight smell of burnt. I would like to try and repair it myself if it is feasible (and also because I can't find someone to look at it here in Montreal !). I have the schematic diagram. So I opened it and the T3.15A fuse was blown. I changed it, and it blew again when I turned the amplifier on... I cheched the input power selector and it's in the correct 110V position. I checked with a multimeter and the input selector seems to be ok (although it seems that the indicated position 110V gives 120, 120 gives 110, 220 gives 240 and 240 gives 220, which is odd…).
I checked the transformer (SLT5N363), I got about 3.5 Ohms between the relevant pins (I think) at primary, and about 0.6 Ohms at secondary… I don’t know about the values, but least I didn’t get 0, so I guess it is ok ? Any idea what I could check next ? Can a shortcut at secondary somewhere make the primary fuse pop ? Visually, I didn't notice anything burnt, but I'm not sure where or what to look for other than help!
