inverter issues somone please help...?

So heres basicly my issue i have 2 inverters 1 small and super efficent the other big and powerful both pure sine wave im not sure why but the big one the other day stoped working right it just would pulse on for a second not even long enough to activate the transfer switch then die and keep doing that in a loop every 5 seconds .... i have no idea what is wrong with it any ideas? and next theres another inverter its small and i accidently blew a fuse in it but thats now fixed but for some reason now it puts out 130 voltages instead of 120 when under a medium load which makes my backup battery pack constantly flick on an off over and over which is on the other end of the line in my room which is reallly annoying me... does anyone have any idea why this voltage is a bit to high under load? none of theese issues happend before to me the inverter before i blue its fuse worked great no issed and now i replaced it and it does this and the other one just kinda...did that one day and i have no idea why...help?

    A fuse doesn't blow for no reason. Some component failed in the inverter, and that is why the voltage is high.

    For the other, it appears it is dead, something failed.. but can't tell from here.

    Those are switching power supplies. Overload could kill some parts inside even it has so called short circuit protection. Especially those cheap made unit using cheap parts and poor assembly. I spent two weeks to repair one my computer power supply because it turned into smoke in front of me. It has so many damaged parts after I trouble shoot it for weeks. Finally I fixed it but I spent on parts cost close to the same unit price. If you like to repair it as your electronic training skill,open it to see any burnt parts first. Second, go to website get the circuit diagram or some thing close to it. Or locate the main control IC (phase lock loop IC ) , mark down the name of IC then search this parts related circuit. And then read those circuits until you fully understand it. Then go back to your defective unit to figure out how it works and what might be the possible failure. Take the parts out and test them. If you found some bad one, replace them and test again.
