Hi guys
As promised, just in case this happens to others seeking help, I will let you know how I got on with my repairs. I found a company who was willing to look at my PCB board and change both the fuse and another component that prevents voltage spikes. I received the repaired item and put it all back together and switched the unit on (hair raising moment). and I was gobsmacked. The product is working perfectly. Totally amazed at the outcome and luckiness that the PCB had these components to protect the device. It was a long shot but worth the gamble. And to top it off, the repair cost me no more than £30.
Thank you all for your help and comments. I have learnt a lot and will remember to think twice before purchasing a foreign device for UK (don't do silly things when jet lagged - lol).
