LG home theater model LHD657 came in with S-protect symptoms now Repaired!

 I received this machine with the above symptoms in my shop a few days ago, I opened the machine and went straight to the audio amplifier which from my experience is the major cause of this error.

I noted all audio I.Cs were running cool and therefore did not suspect them to be the cause, I did thorough testing on the components around the audio amplifier and i bumped on one smd transistor which was dead short.

The transistor was labelled Q407(HY4C), from the data sheet I noted the transistor was a PNP, getting it was not easy and therefore I decided to use an ordinary transistor A1015.

After replacing the transistor, I powered the machine and the s-protect was gone, i did intense testing and noted the new transistor was getting too hot and therefore decided to use transistor B892 which has better specs.


After replacing it with a transistor B892, I tested the machine for thirty minutes and the transistor was running cool.

  1. Congrats and thanks for sharing. Come to think of it, I have trouble dealing with smd components and they have denied me successful repair on many occasions. Like right now I have subwoofer am working on and it appears power ic problem and when I try to Google it's part number I get no match. Thinking of putting universal power module. By the way I need wearable lens with light to see small smd components. Any idea how to get it?
