sceptre x425bv tv main board smoked Q7

Hi Group, can someone help please,.? I put the LVDS wiring harness on wrong in the main board #T. RSC8.10B 12305.. B12083477,. and smoked Q7, I know it's a transistor, can someone tell me a part number or suggest a replacement???

I'm sure you're aware there are no schematics anywhere on those mains.

There's a high probability that that transistor is the 12V switch used to p ower up the TCON on command. Remove what's left of the transistor, and see if either the collector or emitter of that transistor rings out at zero ohm s to the paralleled red wires of the LVDS harness. There are typically 4,

6, or 8 wires grouped at one end of the harness that provides the 12V. If that group connects to that transistor, it's probably just a switch.

If so, plug in the TV with the transistor removed and take some voltage re adings. If you see 12V appear at the E or C when you power up, take a read ing on the base. Your base reading will determine whether to use an npn or pnp.

Alternatively, you can just jump out the E and C and call it a day. Those m ains were used in low end toilets like Elements, Sceptres, Insignias, etc. If your lucky, nothing else beside the switch will have been damaged.
