This Classic was showing the usual video artifacts due to bad capacitors.

So I replaced the group of capacitors which are known to cause the video problem and an IC, the TDA4605. The Mac has worked flawlessly for a day or 2 and suddenly started blowing fuses.

I replaced the mosfet but still no luck.

Any idea why it started blowing the fuse two days after the replacement, but not immediately after it?

Yes, I have replaced:

-) the group of leaking caps

-) IC TDA 4605

-) opto isolator

-) mosfet (it goes bad any time the fuse blows)

when he fuse blows, I think that also something else, besides the mosfet, goes bad.

Bridge the fuse, and see what catches fire. And that is your issue. :)

Just wanted to add my two cents.
When I replace the caps on a comact Mac, I replace all of the electrolytic caps, regardless of whether they are leaking or not.
I also ensure that the AB or DB is thoroughly cleaned with IPA to remove any electrolytic deposits as any electrolyte bridging contacts, will short.
I have used the dishwasher method, with detergent and two rinses to clean boards of all kinds of debris, especially tobacco staining, grimy deposits and electrolyte residue. I have used this successfully on ABs and DBs - I remove the socketed ICs before I wash the DBs. Then the boards are flushed with DI water and IPA before being left in a warm place for 24 hours. Just because it works for me, doesn't mean it will always work for someone else.

One thing to note is that electrolytic capacitors are polarity sensitive and, if they are inserted incorrectly, can explode or cause shorts which would lead to fuses blowing.
Sometimes you have to do nothing else but take a magnifying glass to the board and examine it very carefully to discover a bridged track, or an electrode bridging to something it shouldn't or any number of other electrical issues.
Good luck with getting the AB to work without blowing the fuse.

Yes, I have replaced:
-) the group of leaking caps
-) IC TDA 4605
-) opto isolator
-) mosfet (it goes bad any time the fuse blows)
when he fuse blows, I think that also something else, besides the mosfet, goes bad.

This Classic was showing the usual video artifacts due to bad capacitors.

So I replaced the group of capacitors which are known to cause the video problem and an IC, the TDA4605. The Mac has worked flawlessly for a day or 2 and suddenly started blowing fuses.

I replaced the mosfet but still no luck.

Any idea why it started blowing the fuse two days after the replacement, but not immediately after it?
