Quote:It'll probably be a bad solder join on that transistor, not the transistor itself
Agreed. Most probably, or bad solder around the diodes and resistors in that corner. All the ones I have seen have failed because an extremely thin power supply track has been corroded away due to moisture (drink spill)
Quote:I assume the transistor is at fault then. Any idea as to the spec of said transistor?
Can't remember the spec of the transistor off the top of my head, it's a BC something-or-other (BC327 springs to mind) if you PM the number on it and I'll sort you out

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.
