Hello all, this power transistor is in the power supply for a TV/VCR combo, Quasar VV2017W and keeps shorting. It is good for a month or so but shorts again, I checked all resistors diodes and replaced many caps, all good. I have heard that there is a better transistor to use than C4418 but do not remember what it is, does anyone know? Any help is appreciated.
