Has anyone witness such an IC go bad?
It is getting quite hot to touch (IC301).
The problem started as a protection of PS error.
I traced it down to the -12V regulator being overloaded .
next I found a shorted PNP transistor Q308 (C-E)on the -7V regulator (2SA1015 on the schematics,but on the broad I found 2SA1266).
Replaced the transistor with a 2N4403(I had it in stock...switching C-B legs ).
still same problem the IC seems to draw too much current.
The board is Function(1)
