Hello,
I am new to this forum and happy to join.
I have a sony minidisc deck coming from Japan. It uses 100 V voltage (Japan one). I live in France so I usually use it with 220 V voltage, using a power transformer. This works fine.
Recently, unfortunately, my son plugged it directly on the wall, so directly on 220V. As you can imagine, it is not working anymore !
I opened it to see if there is some kind of obvious fuse that could have melted or something obvious. I could not see anything clear.
I must add that I am not at all a specialist of electronics, and by far. Another way to say is that I know nothing here ! Just the basics from back when I was a student...
I have taken some pictures of the inside if this can help. Here they are :
This first one shows where the power cable plugs it into a circuit board (black cable):
There seems to be 2 blue components under (capacitors ???) and 1 white one in the middle (???).
Here is as see from above, the circuit board with the input (right) and output on the left or so I think:
Close-up on the circuit board where the power cable comes in:
1/ Right hand-side
2/ Left hand-side
Many thanks if you can help me here as I am kind of stuck.
This deck is close to new apart from this problem. And I have many minidiscs which I won't be able to listen to anymore if I cannot repair it.
