Panasonic NVHD650 plays for 5 seconds then stops, no fault codes, help?

My video of 12 years is in dire need of your help, it displays no fault codes, but will only play for 5 seconds then stops and resets. I have found one suggestion that it maybe fixed by replaceing Q1002(2SD1996), but I have three problems with that,
1. What is this part (is it an IC)?
2. How do I replace it?
3. Where can I get one from?

Please Please help, thanks for reading this it does appreicate your time.
