Ha, went to fire up Mightypang in the Astro city over christmas and when i flicked the on swithch there was a quick surge and then nothing happened...At first i feared the worst$$ and thought the monitor had gone.Then i checked the power supply box and luckily for me the fuse had blown.Had No spare's though so was unable use it over chrissy which wasa shame for all.
Anyway I guess my point if it is one is to alway's have a spare fuse or two!,,, at least when everything's shut shop ect

Well I hope the reason the fuse blew was because of something external to your cabinet, otherwise it doesn't matter how many spares you have as they will continue to blow if you have faulty wiring or bad power supply.

Thanks,yes hopefully there's no ongoing hassle's with this.
The wiring was inspected by a tecnician at the place i got it from fairly recently so i'll assume it's all done correctly.At this point anyway there's been no more blown fuses,but i have spare's incase now!

Just wondering,,Where do you accurately measure the power supply to see if it's the correct voltage?
