Hello RacerMate, I have owned a Tacx Fortius for seven years and have had fortunate luck with it, unlike others who have experienced blown fuses. This year (March) I got on my bike and I noticed that I couldn"t start the video....let alone pedal...as it turns out, I think the power unit died! The fuse appears okay, I get a yellow light..therefore the connection to the computer is good, but no green light. Replacing the unit will cost a bundle. After seven years and many hours of training on my fortius, I think I got my monies worth (although I want it to work longer). If the Computrainer is comparable and made in North America, you might want to consider this system for replacement parts. Chani
