question about my laser disc player which went dead

[burn-again satanist]

last night, the electricity went out. when the power came back on
almost immediately, some electronics refuse to turn on. even with
electricity in the outlets, the computer and dvd player took awhile to
turn on again. i thought they were dead for good but thank god they
eventually worked again.

but the laser disc player still refuses to turn on. is it because a
fuse went dead when the electrity went out? or, was there a power
surge? is there something i can replace in the player to make it work
again?

Is there any signs of life at all, such as a standby light, or is it
apparently totally dead ? If so, and it uses a switch mode power supply,
then if the internal power fuse has failed, there is a good chance that the
supply has suffered some fairly major damage, such as a fried switching FET
or IC. If it's dead, and the fuse is ok, then it's probably either the
startup resistor(s) or a bad electrolytic on the primary side. Either way,
unless you are experienced with switch mode PS repairs, I would not
recommend that you dive in there, as they are potentially very dangerous in
terms of serious shock hazard.

You need to let us know the model number of the LD player

For the firt check, make and model don't matter. Open it up and check
the AC fuse. If it is blown check components further down the line such
as diodes and caps for shorts. If you find no obvious shorts, replace
the fuse with the same rating. All may be OK.
If you don't know how to do this first step you may need to bring your
unit to someone qualified in electronic repairs.
