This TV, A JVC model AV27D304 with chassis A110 (made in March 2003) came into the shop with a cracked circuit board. Q681, a surface mount transistor which is situated near the A/V input jacks , lost a leg in the the mishap. What is the purpose of this transistor, and what are the specs so I can try to use a regular generic non- surface mount to replace it. (I'm hoping something such as a 2N3904 will work. Perhaps a schematic of the immediate area would help. Also, if available, could I have the JVC part number in case nothing else is good enough. Thanks for any help. -- Gary McCartney McCartney Electronics Guelph Ontario Canada Est. 1984 email: gary (at) number63.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
