HDR-FOX T2 DEAD (almost)

[Peter Croucher]

GE all. Thanks for letting me join this forum.
I have one of these boxes which appears to be dead.
Disconnected the HDD: same.
Checked voltages on the connector on the power supply panel.
12v and 5.8v (measures 6.4v) OK.
Checked ESR of all the electrolytics in the PSU: seems about right.
Also checked ESR of the SM 4.7uF on the main PCB: OK.
After careful inspection I noticed C3 in the PSU, next to the main smoothing block is a black
charred mess. It totally disintegrated when I tried to unsolder it. Value is totally unreadable, so can anyone help me with
the value and voltage of this component please. I suspect it was one of those blue, high voltage jobbies.
Many thanks,
Peter

Should have looked harder first.
Just found the answer a few threads down.
101k 1kV.
Sorry guys

Reading further: can anyone confirm it's 101k 1kV please?
Looks like that maybe for a different model, and I believe there are 2 versions of this model???
However, I'm not convinced this is causing my problem: No lights, no loop through......
I will have a look tomorrow to see if I have some in stock (from my TV servicing days).......

Seems obvious, but a photo would be good if only to aid identification. It would also be useful if you linked to your sources, otherwise we don't know exactly what you've been reading and whether it's current wisdom. I presume you've been reading HDR-FOX Commissioning, Disassembly, Repair (click)?
