After reading about Tom's new toy I decided to dig out my Bauer as I've not used it for a while, plugged it all in and discovered it had no sound, took the back off and saw a blown fuse on the main board on the left, put a new fuse in but it blew that too, any ideas, Mark

You have a short circuit overload on the board somewhere there Mark by the sounds of things. Impossible to guess without doing some tests but Edwin does sell a most frequently changed electronics kit of parts for these if you want to give that a go first?
You say 'board on the left" ? Is that looking at the pj from the rear with the rear cover removed?
Can you post a photo on here of the board you are referring to please?

I did suggest to Mark at the time that Edwin sells an electronics pack (mainly capacitors for amp and other boards ) that solves most of the frequent electronic issues on these.
Heres hoping your suggestion works Mike!

Mark...Here's the reply I got from my technician.....I cannot remember the value but it is either of the 2 large ones on the back corner of the board (near the fuse ?).

Irrespective of their condition, it is advisable that both the filter (power) capacitors be changed. These are electrolyte capacitors and if they are not put intermittently on a charging/discharging cycle, the electrolyte dries and invariably shorts the capacitor. This is more so when a machine is left idle for a prolonged period of time.
