SOURCE: fuse blew on bernina 180

Herein is a lesson to very firmly learn .... fuses are rated for a reason .... NEVER, EVER put a bigger fuse in if the last one blew, because it blew for a reason. A fuse is there to protect your equipment from damage and for your safety ... if you put a bigger fuse in and your equipment gets damaged as a result, you've only yourself to blame. Just be thankful it didn't burst into flames and if you think I'm being dramatic ... dont ... fuse 'abuse' is one of the biggest causes of house fires. Whoever 'advised' you to do this wants his/her ears bashed and if you paid money for this advice, you desrve it all back plus the cost of repairing the damage it caused !!!

SOURCE: bernina artista 180 touch screen slow to respond

A slow screen response time could indicate the touch screen or logic board is failing -- both are very expensive to replace (more than what you're paying for the machine.) Ask the seller to get a repair estimate from an authorized dealer, and talk to that dealer to be sure you're getting the full picture.

SOURCE: When i switch on my Bernina Artista 180 it blows

Almost-certainly due to the main switching transistor having blown, however this is not necessarily an easy fix ... very often when this happens it takes a number of other components with it ... I had one last week where no less than 10 other components had got fried (and I do mean fried beyond recognition, due to somebody having put a bigger fuse in - doh! - dont ever do this ... it's dangerous!). Best thing to do if you dont really know what you're doing is to get a complete exchange 'L'-print.
