hey all, another issue in my lab i just received a VT100 from someone with better diagnosis and repair skills than myself, and while it left the shop fully functioning, it arrived to me non-working. it seems that the main fuse blew at some point between then and now, and while i replaced it (exact part here), the new fuse blew instantly when i turned the terminal on. unfortunately the person who repaired it will be on vacation for the next couple of weeks, so i'd like to try and fix it myself if i could. i'm not really sure where to begin looking, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. it only has the basic RS232/current loop I/O card, nothing else.
for what it's worth the terminal is plugged into a surge protector with a decently well-built power cable that i've used on my servers in the past, so i don't think there's an issue with the power source. maybe something shook loose during shipping? i can't see or hear anything when i move it, so i'm really not sure.
thank you in advance, as always!
