Cautionary Notes
Before beginning the procedure, please read
through this document. The matters described may
differ according to the model.
No User Data
This product cannot save user data. Backing up user data during servicing is
not required.
Parts List
A component whose part code is ******** cannot be supplied as a service part
because one of the following reasons applies.
• Because it is supplied as an assembled part (under a different part code).
• Because a number of circuit boards are grouped together and supplied as
a single circuit board (under a different part code).
• Because supply is prohibited due to copyright restrictions.
• Because reissuance is restricted.
• Because the part is made to order (at current market price).
Circuit Diagram
In the circuit diagram, “NIU” is an abbreviation for “Not in Use,” and
“UnPop” is an abbreviation for “Unpopulated.” They both mean non-mounted
components. The circuit board and circuit board diagram show silk-screened
indications, but no components are mounted.
