CS50 blowing uppermost fuse

 

My CS50 started blowing fuses. A preliminary check revealed nothing obvious in the power supply - is there a recommended routine for this? Maybe first checking for shorts in the board feeds?

Find out which voltage the fuse is protecting.
Then desolder board for board all those voltages. Measure with the ohmmeter for short. Once a board shows 0 Ohm then that board has the short somewhere. Further measure out all tantalum capacitors for short as well as other capacitors. It's a bit time consuming but there is no other way to find the short. Good luck?

Which one do you mean with "uppermost"?

Hi Florian - there are three fuses mounted on the front left of the power supply - and they are all mounted (stacked) in a? group of three horizontally - so it is the uppermost fuse... it's a 1,25A fuse that I replaced ... i hope that clarifies something? thanks
 

update: i haven't had much of a chance to look into this until recently- it's looking like there is an open circuit (no connection) between the BROWN and either GREY or YELLOW wires on the primary side of the transformer -? the grey and yellow have at least five ohms between them however...? i'm just wondering if it's possible the transformer somehow blew (???) - these seem very heavy duty so it seems unlikely...

thoughts?
 

could i be correct in guessing that the problem couldn't be a 'blown' primary winding since the PS is blowing fuses ? i mean it shouldn't be able to bring power through the supply with a blown primary?
 

solved. ended up being a bad diode pair (D1)
