SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original problem, perform the following

safety check before return the product to the customer.

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splasher and bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

5. Check the B + voltage to see it is at the values specified.

6. Make leakage - current measurements to determine that exposed parts are acceptably insulated from the supply circuit before returning the product to the customer.

1. Power

1-1. "Err" displayed on the top panel and the camera does not work

Fault details: "Err" displayed on the top panel and the camera does not work. Analysis results: FUSE_F600 on the MAIN PWB ASSY A side blown.

Repair details:

Replace the F600

1-2. Power supply problems

Fault details: 1. The camera does not turn on.

2. Power is supplied by the batteries but an error is displayed and the camera does not

work. No AC power is supplied.

3. "ERR" is displayed and the camera does not work. (There are reports of "ERR" being displayed during user firmware upgrades.)

4. No text or images appear on the LCD unless a media is inserted. The top LCD panel displays normally but does not clear when the camera is turned off.

5. The camera does not turn off.

Analysis results: 1. LSI defect in the IEEE 1394 interface in the MAIN PWB ASSY.

2. D600, F601, F603 or IC600 in the MAIN PWB ASSY is broken. Replacing the faulty component remedies the problem. Presumed to be caused by an overvoltage applied from the UNREG line (AC adapter).

3. Replacing IC112 (FROM) on the MAIN PWB ASSY remedies the problem. An interruption to the power supply during downloading causes FROM data corruption.

4. Replacing the MAIN PWB ASSY restores normal camera operation.

5. A current of 300 mA flows simply by connecting the plug from a stable power supply (DC IN 5V). (The same symptoms occur with batteries.)

Replacing the MAIN PWB ASSY restores normal camera operation.

Repair details:

Replace the MAIN PWB ASSY

1-3. The camera does not turn on with the AC adapter

Fault details: The camera does not turn on with the AC adapter. Analysis results: FUSE_F601 on the MAIN PWB ASSY A side blown.

Repair details:

Replace the F601
