Recently the flouroscent lamp in my AGFA Snapscan scanner wore out.
I found on the Web, that the lamp is standard 8W daylight type, so I
bought an Osram L8W/950.
Now when I powered up the device the lamp did not turn as is used to do.
I then disssambled the scanner and found that there is a separate
inverter type supply that drives the lamp. This circuit is a separate
part of the power supply and it is fused with a 2A fuse and supplied
from the +12V.
The fuse had blown and replacing it did not change anything.
I suspect that one or both of the transistors in the inverting circuit
has shorted because if I apply external power the circuit more or less
acts like a short.
I cannot determine whether the transistors are normal bipolar
transistors or FET's of some kind.
I do not have a schematic, so I had to reconstruct it by tracing the
traces on the PCB. From that I can deduct that the pin out is ECB or
SDG. The package is 3 lead TO-251.
The printing on the devices reads D1802 and below to the left is an S
and below to the right is 6J.
Does anyone known what type of transistor its and is it right that I can
use the Osram lamp I bought. The original lamp was a Satellite F8T5D.
