If it is a blown fuse and it blows again after replacing it, try unplugging all cables to the power supply, turn it off and plug in the cables one by one turning it off each time and turn it back on with one more cable plugged in. If the fuse blows after plugging something in you will know what is blowing the fuse. if it blows when no cables are plugged in it is the power supply. I found my SD1 at a garage sale with the same system and found that the floppy drive cable was pinched against something and blowing the fuse
