Even if I take the transistors out, they show 0 ohms accross pins 1 and 3...

If I check the pads, they now show the same 550 ohms (I think, don't have it here) without the defective transistors, that I measure across the other transistors.

I'll check the resistance between the pins 1&2 and 2&3 tonight and will post it then.

I could see water stains (must've been water with shampoo or something, really thick!) across the pins (underside) and would assume salt-bridges forming and bypassing the current to cause the transistors to fry. I have some more components that were covered in the stains, but they either seem to do fine, or I didn't know how to measure them (diodes?) without an external power supply. If it's not working after I replaced the transistors, I'll take it here to work with me, where I have the power-supplies I need (I really should get one for home, I've needed one a few times now).

Thanks for you help! I wouldn't know what to do without you guys!
