    Please help in diagnosising a bad transistor.

    Hey guys I just got this plasma tv for free so I figure its worth fixing. Its a DP50749. I got to the Y sustain board before I found a transistor that might be bad. But this is my first tv that went bad that wasn't a bad cap, so im not sure. I posted a video for you guys to please check out. If the transistors are good then i'm not sure what is wrong with it. Let me know what you guys think and then ill give a full description of the issues with pics. Thanks guys

    Re: Please help in diagnosising a bad transistor.

    Fourth one you test--is suspect.
    --IF in fact, its a Transistor. There are also double-diodes fitted to these things, plus other items in circuit that may give odd readings when tested in circuit.

    Pull it out and re-test

      Yep, I'm thinking the same. Last item i'd say was a double diode with identical readings on 2 pins. I did not see anything showing short which is usually how the IGBTs fail so good chance all those videoed are ok.

      Transistors are marked Q, diodes D and will have pins A & K where the IGBTs have pins G,C,E and FETs will have pins G,D,S.

      The fast recovery diodes and transistors on those heatsinks have the same packaging so appearance wise they'll look similar.

      Looks like a panasonic based panel and drive boards so you may be able to research for common boards that fail based on the SC, SD, SU and SS board numbers assuming it's one of those that is the issue.

          Dynacord PowerMate 600 Powered Mixer - Protect Light On
          by dicky96
          Hi guys
          I'm trying to repair this powered mixer. Sorry this is a bit long but I want to give as much info as possible to help get an answer,


          As soon as it powers on the protect light comes on. There are relays that connect the speakers to each channel of the amplifier but they never click. If I connect a 60W light bulb in series with the mains supply it comes in bright then goes to maybe 30-50% brightness - it seems to dim a little further over time

          I have power to the amplifier, I think it was as about plus/minus 50-60V for the main amp, and plus/minus 15V...

          Lynx RS4-2000 switch mode PSU does not start
          by dicky96
          Hi guys
          This PSU is actually in an amplifier, but it is the PSU itself that has a problem

          I have spent quite a lot of time trying to diagnose this and the more I get into it the more puzzled I become

          It has a Standby, or Startup supply (15V) generated by a TOP245GN and this is working

          The main SMPS is controlled by a SG3525A and it does not start up

          According to the datasheet
          https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datash...A/SG3525A.html

          This SG3525A will shut down if pin 10 is high, or pin 9 or pin 8 are...

          Behringer Eurolive B205D repair - help identifying transistor
          by magneh
          Hello
          Got this speaker from a friend , defective. Power led comes on and off , in a loop.
          Disassembled, got the board out, and after a bit of measuring I found a low resistance on a 5v6 line. With a bit of current I found a transistor heating up on that line (labeled T1 and 113 as on pic).
          After removing this guy, I got a value of 0.7 in diode mode on that 5v6 line, which before had 0.02 or something like that.

          I tested powering it up without the IC, and the speaker turns on and stays on, and works fine

          Still, I need to replace this transistor....

          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...

          help to identify transistor msi ms-15ck1
          by elsomer
          hi people, i need some help to identify a transistor(q14) that is missing on the board, so the gpu has no voltage i think that q14 activate the phases for gpu, but i dont have schematic or boardview, but i think its the same transistor than q15 and q16, thanks...
