Toshiba Model M774 VCR stopped working. Opened case and immediately noticed a blown fuse. The fuse is a 125V/1.25A,on the mother board is says F801 next to the fuse information and where the fuse would clamp in. The fuse is 3/4" long and 3/16" wide.
Firstly I am unable to locate that size fuse. I found a 125V/1.0A fuse and was wondering if that would work. I also found a 250V/1.0 fuse as well.
THEN I found your forum and it said if the fuse is black (inside the glass) there is another situation that is dangerous. The board and all the components look good. I am NOT a technician just brave enough to open something and tinker.
I live in a very small town and there are NO electronic repair places. So if the fuse will not fix my VCR then I'm sunk. I don't want to cause a fire, so please advise.
Thank you.
