Before I replacing (expensive) my 12v Halogen transformer, you have inspired me to check my solder joints too.

Thanks for the information

[@mernokimuvek]

Check the pinout of the transistors and some electronic halogen transformer schematic online. You were measuring across base and emitter, not across collector and emitter.

Let me guess... lead-free solder (maybe RoHS compliant).

[@mathewlawrenceml]

Lead free is awful stuff.
