Good morning, I am new on here so apologies if in the wrong thread. I have a 2015 iMac 27 non 5k which when in sleep mode blows the plug top fuse and now it has started doing this even in screensaver mode. Tried a new power lead plus different locations including another property so have eliminated every possible cause. I see on other forums this is an issue in some instances. Does anyone have any ideas, is it worth a repair attempt or do I buy new. The spec is high on this model so there is some reluctance but cost of repair I imagine could be quite high. Thanks for any help with this.
Got a tip for us?

If I turn off sleep it would run fine until a few days ago and now even when the screensaver comes on it blows a fuse. If I replace the fuse it will come on and work but just unable to let it sleep or sit with screensaver on.

Last week it did blow a fuse when I was in the middle of web browsing

The plug top fuse. Supply is fine coming in and apart from trying the iMac on different outlets in the house I have also tried at a different property and it does exactly the same. I have seen this issue in other forums previously and it is possibly a capacitor or the CPU causing the issue.
