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.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED LINE WITH
MARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE PARTS
LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESE
COMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERS
APPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS
PUBLISHED BY SONY.
Unleaded solder
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than
ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350°C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
• Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than
ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such
as on IC pins, etc.
• Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

1-2. METHOD FOR COPYING OR ERASING THE DATA IN INTERNAL MEMORY
The data can be copied/erased by the operations on the Setup screen. (When erasing the data, execute formatting the internal memory.)
Note1: When replacing the SY-145 board, erase the data in internal memory of the board before replacement.
Note2: When replacing the SY-145 board or the IC203 on the SY-145 board, execute formatting and initialize the internal memory after replacement.
Method for Copying the Data in Internal Memory
Copy
Copies all images in the internal memory to a “Memory Stick Duo”.
OK
Cancel
1 Insert a “Memory Stick Duo” having 32 MB or larger capacity.
2 Select [OK] with v on the control button, then press z.
The message “All data in internal memory will be copied Ready?” appears.
3 Select [OK] with v, then press z.
Copying starts.
Use batteries with enough capacity or the AC Adaptor (not supplied). If you attempt to copy image files
using batteries with little remaining capacity, the batteries may run out, causing copying to fail or possibly
corrupting the data.
You cannot copy individual images.
The original images in the internal memory are retained even after copying. To delete the contents of the
internal memory, remove the “Memory Stick Duo” after copying, then execute the [Format] command in
(Internal Memory Tool) (page 46).
You cannot select a folder copied on a “Memory Stick Duo”.
Even if you copy data, a (Print order) mark is not copied.
See the following procedure.
Cancels the copying.
Method for Formatting the Internal Memory
This item does not appear when a “Memory Stick Duo” is inserted in the camera.
The default settings are marked with .
Format
Formats the internal memor y.
• Note that form a tting irrevocably erases all data in the internal memory, including even protected images.
OK
Cancel
1 Select [OK] with v on the control button, then press z.
The message “All data in internal memory will be erased Ready?” appears.
2 Select [OK] with v, then press z.
The format is complete.
See the following procedure.
Cancels the form a tting.

DISCHARGING OF THE FLASHLIGHT POWER SUPPLY CAPACITOR
The charging elect capacitor 180uF (330V) is charged up to the
maximum 300 V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the
capacitor is handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the
charged voltage which is kept without discharging when the main
power of the DSC-S600 is simply turned off. Therefore, the
remaining voltage must be discharged as described below.
Preparing the Short Jig
T o preparing the short jig. a small clip is a ttached to each end of
a resistor of 1 kW /1 W (1-215-869-11)
Wrap insulating tape fully around the leads of the resistor to
prevent electrical shock.
