Jambutty just blew a kv up

[jambutty]

I Bloody well knew it, I've just blown me arnet 700c up.

On me thred stuck on "ON" sussed: I said if I lost me patience at not being able to source the part I'd end up putting wrong slicon transistor in and knowing my luck I'd blow me box up.
well I've just prooved meself right and gone and done it (where's me fire extinguisher) cos me arnet it's still smoldering.
I just could't wait to source the part needed and put one in I thought would do but it was wrong one, It went with a right BANG .
it was that loud I think I've burst me eardrum
I just couldn't bloody well wait to source the part, I bet some one will post a thred soon to say thet have managed to source the bleeder (that will really make my day!!! if this happens)
Anyhow thanks for all yer help but don't need one now, but if anyone has a kv that may develop this stuck on "ON" then make sure yer put the exact silicon transitor in.
Can the anminster put a Grim Reaper icon on the site.
Jam.

I ain't got one ounce of patience in me to be honest, that's why things go wrong more often than they go right cos of me intolerable patience.

When yer just replied to this rediesiel I was scared of reading it in case it was an post from some one to say, "Hey Jam, just sourced the Bleeder" 20p from Maplins or something like that.
If anyone sources it can yer send me a warning not to read the post cos it will freak me out if someone gets one of these effing bleeders now it's no use to me.

WTF mate , Bear in mind these things happen in 3's . When you wake up the kettle will blow Then the toaster will follow Just put the soldering iron down mate untill your source the right components. If i fooked the kidz cable box i would be in deep sh1t , hope that box was expendable

lol...., yeah didn't really matter g8 that it's blown up cos a got loads a boxes, in fact I jtagged 3 ex5000 pvr's today and was chuffed and thats wot made me go out an celebrate.
On a serious note though it's a kv fault sussed now with the stuck on "ON" cos theres been a few people askin for help on this issue so it may be of benefit to someone who has still got a kv with this issue, if yer can source the part I told yer bout then whack it in yer box and then yer won't be stuck on "ON".
