Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
CAUTION
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DO TTED 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.
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.

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.

1-1. POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4V), the po wer is shut off so
that the unit cannot operate.
These following method is available to prevent this.
Method:
Use the AC power adaptor (AC-L200/L200B).
1-2. TO TAKE OUT A CASSETTE WHEN NOT EJECT (FORCE EJECT)
1 Refer to “2. DISASSEMBLY” to remove the mechanism deck block.
2 Supply +4.5V from the DC power supply to the loading motor and unload with a pressing the cassette compartment.

Inspect the lens block focus reset sensor (Pin 7 of CN3801 of VC472 board) when focusing is performed when the touch panel is
operated in the focus manual mode and the focus motor drive circuit
(IC3802 of VC-472 board) when the focusing is not performed.

VC-472 board) when zooming is performed when the zoom switch
is operated and the zoom motor drive circuit (IC3802 of VC-472
board) when zooming is not performed.
Inspect the flexible board for breakage or loose connection.
If not faulty, inspect the f ocus and zoom motor dri ve circuit (IC3802
of VC-472 board).
When you replace to the repairing board, the written data of repairing board also might be changed to original setting.
When the data has changed because of board replaceing etc, check the data setting (Exif Model Data) is right. If not, rewrite to the right value.
