So Star Wars upright did not come on, opened it up today and the 20amp fuse on the power brick had blown. I grabbed some replacements from Halfords, but they are not slow blow. However it pops everytime, unplugged the main output and it still blows, looking at the schems the only thing I think it could be is the rectifier or the big blue, anyone had this or have any thoughts?

The square bridge rectifier would be where I would start. When they go open you’ll pop the 20a fuse. You can take it out and test it with a multimeter or just replace it.
