I purchased a Yamaha CA800 this past week here in LA. Upon inspection I noticed that some of fuses were broken (1 on each side). I cleaned the unit out with 2 cans of Sprayon EL2302 and then replaced the fuses and 2 broke again only this time on the right side as you face the unit. The power light does come on. I would like to find help here. Please walk me through the process of checking what might be the source of the problem step by step. I'm a beginner/newbie and would like to learn so go easy on me :). Hopefully I can find some people that are willing to teach me how to repair this great looking CA-800. I will post pics as we do this repair together step by step.

I have downloaded the repair manual for the CA-800 and have all the tools required for the job maybe not the parts.....

I have the unit open. Control knobs are off along with the faceplate. I put all screws in baggies and number my steps and take pics. The unit is very clean inside and I'm ready to troubleshoot. Please when offering advice can you send pics or refer me to the CA-800 diagram and explain things to me like I'm a 1st year college student. I what to do step by step. I'm a quick learner however I just need over simplified guidance at first.

Thank you in advance for reading.

Lets start with step 1.
