Re: Benq Q7T4 FP71G

Wow! Just fixed a friend's benQ, and the culprit was also a bad solder joint on C826. Those transistors must pump out a lot of heat, and melt the solder next to them.
Thanks to all.

Re: Dell E172fpb

Hi All.
New Here.
Well, My BenQ FP737s is up and running again, using MJE3055's, with the mounting tabs filed down a couple of mm.
(Thanks to all posters).
Initially after fitting these, it worked fine, but seemed to be getting hotter than hell.
It finally gave out, and I had to open it again.
I was about to place an order for the proper 2sc's, until I took a closer look at the PCB's solder side, particularly arount the four transformers.
Yup! One of the solder joints on one of the transformers looked fractured....
