I would like to know if the HOT is good or bad on this TV set. I have removed the transistor. It is NOT an original Toshiba part. The last TV repairguy installed a NTE2353 NTP type with a built in damper diode. The part has 3 pins. Anyway, I want to test the part to see if it is good. I am assuming that from left to right the first pin is B. The Second or middle pin is C, and the last pin all the way to the right is E.
With my DMM on the 2k diode setting I placed the red lead of the DMM to B & the black lead of the DMM to C and got a reading of 499 ohms. Then in reverse I got a zero reading.
Then I placed the red lead of the DMM to B & the black lead of the DMM to E & got a reading of 38 ohms. Then in reverse I got a reading again of 38 ohms.
Then I placed the red lead of the DMM to C & the black lead of the DMM to E & got a zero reading. Then in reverse I got a reading of 521 ohms.
Based on the above assumption of pin locations (from left to right B,C,E) and the recorded DMM Readings (as there can ONLY be 6 combination readings), can anyone please tell me if the Transistor is Good or Bad? If you think it is bad, please tell me why because I would like to learn something in the process.
I thank you and appreciate any & all replies!!!
