Who would I get to do this? I won't touch it. Does it mean getting someone to replace the resistor or would it mean fitting a new pcb board?
).Resistors don't just normally go of their own accord, they normally fail due to another fault on the board so if it has gone then I'd suggest a new board as well. You could get an electronics engineer to replace the resistor with a like for like replacement if the markings on it are intact and can be read off (they have colour bands on them). If the new resistor goes again then you know there is another fault there somewhere.

My friend's Dad is a TV engineer and deals with PCB boards. I have asked him to replace the transistor.
*** resistor *** by the looks of things.
Make sure he replaces it with one of the same rating and value. If it goes again then its either one of three things.
1. The PCB manufacturer has underspecified the power dissipation of the component.
2. There is a fault elsewhere on the PCB which is causing this component to overheat
3. Both of the above

Thank you for your helpful post. I keep saying bloody transistor rather than resistor. Sorry!
