    LG TV Need help replacing a Bipolar Small signal Transistor

    Ok , so i got this TV from a friend of mine.So to start it off Its a plasma TV.When turned on it the red light comes on , then after a couple seconds the light goes off, and it repeats like that. You can hear the Relay click on for a few seconds then off ... So it wasnt an obvious short on the mains input thats for sure. I opened it up , and mind you, i have never seen an inside of a plasma TV so it suprised me to say the least. There are 3 massive power boards. The main one , then we have the board that is connected to another board which then goes to the TV (i assume those are some kind of drivers on it) , but then going out of the second POWER board the third Power board is connected to it. (Now i hope you are following me cuz im trying to explain in full detail at what im looking at. ) The fuse on the second board's connecter was blown,(the fuse goes directly to the third board)And finally the third board is some kind of amplifier board that is directly connected to the screen. Huh i hope you understood what i was saying.
    So i started probing around :
    First board , nothing unusual , no shorts all good.
    Second board again no shorts all good.
    Third board is the one that had full short across the main voltage line.
    After some probing i have found(1 of many of these transistors) and desoldered a faulty "Bipolar Small signal transistor", The short is now gone.
    And finally i need help because i have no idea what a BSST Is or what it can be replaced with. So thats what i need help with , and hopefully i can learn something new today.
    The code for the mosfet is this T30F124 Here is the datasheet https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datash.../GT30F124.html
    Now i have some scrap PSU boards . but all i can find is N channel P channel mosfets , so nothing of the sorts. So thats my question , can it be replaced by a MOSFET? and not exactly a bipolar small signal transistor.

      You need to replace them all with igbt's. Ut Source has them in used condition. You can up the voltage with other choices from your list. I use the 600v option.Gt30j124

        Okay , i found someone selling the exact ones in serbia , which is good.
        Now i tried testing the second power board cuz i thought it was weird how that fuse was blown , and yes i have another short i have narrowed it down to 1 of 3 mosfets. *(1 is a shotki diode actually) And they are exactly the same ones as on the third board. Now im just guessing , the 2nd board blew , and somehow probably burnt out the third board aswell.. But on the third board the fuse is still fine which is kinda weird. I am ordering some of those tomorrow .

          Make sure you have every screw mounted in it's hole before turning on the tv. If not, you will blow up more parts.

            Okay , ive noticed its more complicated then normal switching power supply , with multiple "grounds". I am wondering what are the chances of this thing working when i replace all the IGBT's? How fragile are those drivers that run them? I assume they are quality since all the caps in this thing are premium... Every single one looks good.

              Found another short on the second board... ITs marked VS, 5v. And once again it leads to another IGBT , its the RJP63F3 ... At this point im reconsidering even buying replacement , because who knows if the drivers are still good. Too many things broken on this TV , not sure if its fixable...

                If anyone could advise as to what to do? I am reluctant to try and change all of those IGBT's .. I found that 4 more igbts are shorted on the Vsus board, what are the chances that drivers are still good? Would you advise replacing the whole board? The other board which i think is called Ysus or something , had only 1 igbt faulty... Would the second board damage anything else?
