looking for a transistor for a cheap price

So you've checked and measured the resistors and transistor junctions associated with the defective transistor and they are good?
Rare that that would happen, particularly if the fuse blows.


Those receivers are notorious for failures of the HDMI chinese boards.
I've seen a lot of that happen.

Sanken MN2488 pnp darlington way work. the driver circuit may be fried as well.
put a diode on the HDMI board power supply to reduce it by 0.7v . it may last alot longer at a lower voltage. I reduced the (unobtainiam) SX3700 display chips supply voltage by 0.7v and they work normally.
