SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes 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, through 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. Flexible Circuit Board Repairing

• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270˚C during repairing.

• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the circuit board (within 3 times).

• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or unsoldering.

SERVICE NOTE

1. POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS

In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (4.2V), the po wer is shut of f so that the unit cannot operate. This following two methods are available to prevent this. Take note of which to use during repairs.

Method 1.

Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B) to the LANC jack, and set the commander switch to the "ADJ" side.

Method 2.

Use the AC power adaptor (AC-VF10 or AC-VQ11) and connecting cord (DK-115).

2. TO TAKE OUT A CASSETTE WHEN NOT EJECT (FORCE EJECT)

1 Refer to 2-2 to remove the accessory shoe. 2 Refer to 2-2 to remove the cabinet (R) assembly. 3 Refer to 2-6 to remove the lens-EVF block assembly. 4 Refer to 2-8 to remove VC-245 board. 5 Refer to 2-9 to remove the mechanism deck. 6 Supply +4.5V from the DC power supply to the loading motor and unload with a pressing the cassette compartment.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

1. SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder or LCD screen what to do. This function consists of two display; selfdiagnosis display and service mode display. Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction manual.

2. SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the viewfinder or LCD screen consists of an alphabet and 4-digit numbers, which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character display indicates the “repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and “detailed code” of the problem.

Refer to page 7. Self-diagnosis Code Table.

3. SER VICE MODE DISPLAY

The service mode display shows the last self-diagnosis codes shown in the past.

3-1. Display Method

While pressing the “BA CK LIGHT” key , set the switch from OFF to “VCR or PLAYER”, and continue pressing the “BACK LIGHT” key for 5 seconds continuously. The service mode will be displayed, and the counter will show the backup No. and the 5-character self-diagnosis codes.

Turning OFF the power supply will end the service mode display.

Note: The “self-diagnosis display” data will be backed up by the coin-type lithium battery of control switch block (FK-30350) BT4001. When this coin-

type lithium battery is removed, the “self-diagnosis display” data will be lost by initialization.
