This is a much younger set than the one in my last thread (funeral to be held later), this 42" plasma packed up almost 3 years old to the day. It belongs to a retired couple, good friends, and I rather embarrasingly recommended it at the time!
Apparently after a couple of slow start-ups, it wouldn't come on at all. I could hear the tell-tale whines from the PSU, so I took it away for a better look.
Soon discovered a short on the Z-sus panel (EAX620B1001), turns out to be o/p transistor Q6. It's a 30F124, one of a pair- the other measures OK passively.
It it normal for these to fail or could we be looking at something causing it?
TIA.
