    Transistors needed

    I am currently working on a Di-fusion EZ17F monitor with failed backlights caused by two transistors on the inverter being shorted. The transistors are ZTX1049A (also known as FZT1049A). There are 4 on the board and they appear to carry out exacltly the same function as C5707 on the Dell and Benq boards.
    Anyone come across these before and know a source to get them from or even another equivalent?
    Many thanks.

      SMD or TO-92 ?

        Nice find Toasty at Newark that was a direct ship from Farnell in the UK and thats a $20 processing fee.

          Did you test those in circuit or out of circuit?

          If in circuit, they may be the ones with their collector-emitter junction across the ballast/transformer primaries and will always show shorted.

          If out of circuit, did you reverse meter probes to see if you get the same readings from lead to lead of device?

          A pic of the board would be cool too.

            Just wanted to point out it's a current (not obsolete) part.
            Wasn't suggesting to buy there.

              Re: Transistors needed

              Thanks everyone thats very helpful. They are TO92 (but I also have another problem monitor with an smd version thats faulty as well).
              I tested them out of circuit and two are definatelly shorted ( a reading in all directions and all pins).
              They dont seem too far away in spec to C5707 (not that I am any expert on these specs) so I wonder if I could risk trying a couple of these as I have a fair number of these !
              Alternativelly has anyone come across ZTX1049A or FZT1049A in another monitor or piece of electronics so I could go scavenging?!
              I will post a photo of the inverter when I get time
              Regards

                Nothing ventured nothing gained - I tried using C5707s to replace the two shorted ZTX1049 and lo and behold the backlights fired up. Early days but the monitor has ran all evening without problem and I will test it over the next few days to see if the substitution lasts. Before anyone points out that the BC and E are on different pins on the C5707s I was aware of that and managed to instal them slightly differently to keep the pins correct.

                      In to the third day of running now with the substituted C5707s with no obvious problems so will assume a fix. Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

                        Denon AVR 1908, High pitch noise on Surround back Left channel after long overhaul
                        by karatzdi
                        Hello,

                        I know some might say... just buy another one. Sell it as parts..!

                        So had this AMP for quite some time. Recently I saw light smoke coming out of the AMP. Had my fire extinguisher close by. Just kidding. Turned immediately all devices off from mains.
                        Let things cool a bit, and opened up the amp device. I clearly saw on the main board which hosts the 5X amp (5.1), 3 10 ohms 1W resistors had their leads looking black, while the rest of the remaining 2 x 10 ohms were brownish as being installed from factory.

                        Spent some time downloading the Service...

                        Onkyo A8200 - Not the right voltages in some transistors
                        by Francesc V.
                        Hi:

                        I am trying to repair this amplifier that I've bought as faulty. I've found some transistors damaged, the ones where I am drawing a red circle.

                        With the final transistors not yet installed (the expensive ones), I've started to measure some voltages:

                        Where I am supposed to have 1.12V (base Q524/Q523) I am reading -42V..................both channels don't seem ok.
                        Where I am supposed to have -1.12V (base Q526/Q525) I am reading -44V..................both channels don't seem ok.
                        I removed and tested Q514,Q516 & Q513,Q515 but the analyzer...

                        Sundown SFB-8000D What are these transistors?
                        by redbaron1007
                        I had a Sundown SFB-8000D amp come into the shop yesterday that wasn't giving any output. The guy who brought it in said he bought it off some crack head on Facebook marketplace for a good price, but bought it knowing it was broken. Apparently the original owner was cutting out the transistors to the right of the ones pictured whenever one would blow and take the output out. Best I can figure he also cut the legs on the S5 and S6 ic's as well and soldered them back together.

                        My problem is Sundown decided in the factory to remove the original markings on the IC's and now I can't figure...

                        by Bob Wong
                        Welcome badcaps, repairing a Crosshair 15, in need of transistor specifics. Received a broken laptop that's was perfect for repair, threw away the looser transistors in a haste... Should and could have salvaged them.
                        In any case, I will be posting all my discoveries to this forum as a thanks in advance. Thanks in advance lol.

                        P.S. If anyone is familiar with such things, as in, If anyone knows that MSI uses one or one of a few types of transistors when marked with a number please let me know how I can find more specifics before I start throwing hail marys.

                        by seppde
                        Hello everyone,
                        I've got a Benq power board of a XL2540K monitor which suffered from a power cut and is since defective / won't turn on. It's got obvious defects, some blown resistors, some burning around the drain pin of a MOSFET...
                        ... and some 6-pin IC I struggle identifying, that is driving said MOSFET.
                        The IC is labeled as IC601, so someone with a circuit schematic could probably identify it really quick, unfortunately I can't find the schematics.
                        In other power boards of Benq for which I did find the schematics, IC601 is an 8-pin NCP1200 PWM controller - I suppose...
