Is the outlet live? Does something else plugged into the same outlet work?

Does the receiver have a master power switch on the back that may have been switched off by accident.

Some - not all receivers have user replaceable fuses. If you do not see a fuse holder on the receiver near where the power cord attaches then you may need to open the chassis to see if there are replaceable fuses on the power supply board inside. Follow where the power cord connects to the chassis. It will lead to a board with a transformer that changes high voltage to the low voltage that the receiver needs to operate.

IF there are user replaceable fuses inside they will be on the power supply board.

PLEASE make sure that the unit is unplugged and has been for some time as the transformers sometimes stores residual voltage that will harm you. Don't do this unless you know what you are doing inside the unit. I recommend novices just take it to the repair center.

Also - IF you replace with the wrong fuse type and rating you can cause further damage to your unit.

Good luck and be careful.

Bosch SRS53C02GB/27 tripped circuit fuse, Changed plug fuse still no sign of life
Has the circuit breaker / fuse in the meter box tripped or blown as well? If the machine tripped or blew a fuse, it is common for the heater element to be the cause or you have a water leak internally and its shorted something.

Lighter plug seems burnt out
Even if the fuse shows no signs of being blown (one such sign might be a black spot), you might want to try a different fuse of the same amperage to make sure.
If the fuse is good, you have more work to do. Check whether power is getting to the outlet by testing it with a voltmeter or circuit tester. If the voltmeter shows power is reaching the outlet, the outlet itself is probably damaged from repeated use or simple misuse. Though chargers and other plug-ins are supposed to be of uniform size, some may be bigger or smaller than others.
time to get a new outlet then.

95 bmw 325i parking lights not working
Sounds like a ground wire problem. Does it act up in the rain or after a wash? That could indicate the fuse block under the hood my be geting moisture. But definitely check the main ground, fuse Block ground, and headlights ground. Check headlights plugs n turn signal plugs n sockets. Also, start by changing the bulbs. Both of them. There's two filaments in each bulb, one for marker lights and one for blinking

Working on for friend. Unit does not power up, no fuses blown
The most obvious place to check is anything to do with the power supply, such as the transformer. A fuse will only blow if an overload occurs, caused by something acting like it was just a piece of wire. However if something acts like a broken wire, everything justs stops dead and the fuse doesn't blow!

No signs of life
I would check for bad capacitors those could be your issue. When in doubt bring it in to have it checked out but if you feel you can do it check for budging caps.

Intermitant cold start misfire
Most likely none are related to the computer. Surging idle is often a sign of a vacuum leak and can cause random misfires. Vacuum leak would also cause hesitation. Sensor heater can be a fuse, wiring or bad sensor. What's the window doing?

Onkyo sub woofer
You will only blow fuses and resistors if there is a short of some kind you can change fuses, resistors and capacitors all you like if you don't find the short they will just keep on blowing. It maybe something as small as a bit of conductive material or fluff or dust on chip board wipe board down make sure it is clean (a clean toothbrush is perfect) and there are no signs of burns on either side of the chipboard befor you change anything. If there are burns or greenish build up clean them with some metho or water on a cloth not to damp though and make sure Burn or corrossion hasn't taken off the protective layer on the board.
Then try new fuses. Hope this helps you
