    DE Star Trek Shooter Lane

    DE- Blowing lamp driver transistor

    Having a problem with my ST. It keeps blowing Q66 transistor for lamp column 6 after a couple of days. Have checked for blown diodes or shorted lamp sockets on that column, all is good. Is it a board problem or could it be something else?

    Blowing LEDs
