Replacing Unknown Transistor
This may sound like a tough question, but it probably isn't. The unit in
question is an Infiniti SM785 monitor (17", 1996). I acquired this years ago and obviously attempted a repair, because I left a large TO-3P transistor (Q604) removed from the circuit, and of course it is long-since lost. Funny thing is, it's not the horizontal output. Doesn't seem to be a pincushion amp either, because the monitor will not start without it - a regulator of some sort maybe?. Anyway, there were several smaller blown transistors nearby, so I replaced them and then attempted to take a guess on the missing TO-3P. The only one that allowed the monitor to power and work normally was an NTE2324, however I only left it on for a few seconds because I didn't want to risk damaging anything. Does anyone know what the function of that transistor is, and what would probably make a good sub? -- To reply via Email, remove NOSPAM from the address |

Whats behind it? what power is around it when its not in circuit? I will take a wild guess that its a voltage regulator. Probably series pass. Be looking for filter caps, around the device for clues.

Does anyone know what the function of that transistor is, and what would probably make a good sub? Could it be involved in high voltage regulation? Does it drive a coil? Does it switch the B+ ? Does it get its base drive from an IC? If so, then the IC's datasheet may tell you its function. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
Replacing Unknown Transistor
Silly me... I found the original transistor taped to the neck of the CRT, I
guess I had planned to look at it again someday. It crossed to an NTE 2365.... "Chris F." wrote in message ... This may sound like a tough question, but it probably isn't.
