sorry it is very busy over here. TR17 was busted, replaced it with one from stock but that did not solve the issue. I need to analyse this further as it seems there has been a cascade somehow. That BD435 would not blow quickly at all.
- The voltage regulator (IC3) is good.
- The 2200uF cap is also good.
- F2 fuse is good
Need to trace the entire path again even though I did not find any that were clearly broken.
