Grrrr.. so I think this is my issue..
What I have learned so far as mentioned is there are both NPN and PNP transistors amongst others both those are common ones. Well apparently there are also some differences in the numbering on them.
For example, when I read the number off the one I needed I thought it was 8050. So I searched and found S8050 as a common type and purchased the lot in the previous post. Well after messing with a James today for 2-4hrs (I lost track of time)... I discovered that the number was 8050S. Those seem to be less common and could possibly be a U.K. thing as all that I have seen with this are U.K. James.
So I did find a listing on eBay for what looks to be 8050S but they are in China so it will be a bit before I get them..
I did find that some of the others from the lot I bought seem to work, but I would rather use the needed one if possible.
