I got lazy and just skimmed the articles posted by those who had a history of successful troubleshooting. I didn't see anything that looked like success, so I posted my suggestions on the assumption that the obvious culprits and usual suspects had been eliminated. Anyway, congrats on fixing the problem. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

That's precious. I pointed out that you're a hack. I pointed out the Tabby is hack. You two have been having a love fest trying to justify yourselves. Get a room. -- "I am a river to my people."

You're a *MORON* and a DUMBASS. Did you not see the picture I posted of the network analyser I freely admitted to butchering earlier in the thread? No Sherlock you, but blind as well as rude and ignorant, clearly. -- This message may be freely reproduced without limit or charge only via the Usenet protocol.

I don't believe in doing that unless there's no other option. Having grown up in the overhang of postwar rationing and austerity I feel compelled to do all I can to rescue stuff if it's safe and practical to do so.

I assumed it was tucked between those resistors to sense any higher than usual warming in them. It's marked 76 degrees C in the case of this one. I'm guessing it (since it's in series with the live line) that if the temp rises above that level it will wind back the current, but this one has blown completely open-circuit and maybe that's what it was designed to do.

Sounds feasible. I'll check the resistance of the heating elements and see what they show. One may have gone partially short-circuit, causing the fault in the first place. It's a 70W blanket so at 240V they should come out at about 800 ohms in total if my quick 'n' dirty sums are correct. -- This message may be freely reproduced without limit or charge only via the Usenet protocol.

Nothing visible, just on testing for resistance. ** FFS - it's a common thermal fuse. https://www.amazon.com/10Pcs-Microtemp-Thermal-Cutoff-SM110A1/dp/B072SV9QFB A spring loaded contact inside is held together with a wax like substance that melts at some desired temp. Likely the unit was made to overhead by being on top of the blanket and insulated by bed clothes. ... Phil |
