CAUTION

Lead Free Soldered Boards

The circuit boards used in these models have been processed using Lead Free Solder. The boards are identified by the LF logo located close to the board designation e.g. F1, H1 etc [ see examples ]. The servicing of these boards requires special precautions to be taken as outlined below.

KDF-E42/50A11E

RM-ED002

example 1

example 2

It is strongly recommended to use Lead Free Solder material in order to guarantee optimal quality of new solder joints. Lead Free Solder is available under the following part numbers :

rebmuntraP retemaiD skrameR

91-500-046-7mm3.0gK52.0

02-500-046-7mm4.0gK05.0

52-500-046-7mm2.1gK00.1

62-500-046-7mm6.1gK00.1

Due to the higher melting point of Lead Free Solder the soldering iron tip temperature needs to be set to 370 degrees centigrade. This requires soldering equipment capable of accurate temperature control coupled with a good heat recovery characteristics.

For more information on the use of Lead Free Solder, please refer to http://www.sony-training.com

SECTION 1 SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

LE-4B Self Diagnostic Software

LE-4B chassis TV’s contain a self diagnosis function. In the event of an error occurring, the STANDBY LED indicator will automatically begin to flash. The number of times the STANDBY LED indicator flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.

1. DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS

When an error occurs, the STANDBY indicator will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the indicator will identify the first of the problem areas.

The result for all of the following diagnosis items are displayed on screen. No error has occured if the screen displays a “0”.

3. STOPPING THE STANDBY INDICATOR FLASH

Turn off the power switch on the TV to stop the STANDBY indicator from flashing.

4. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY

For errors with symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes off” that cannot be confirmed, it is possible to bring up past occurrences of failure on the screen for confirmation.

To bring up the screen test

In standby mode, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially in rapid sucession as shown below:

(ON SCREEN (DIGIT 5) (VOLUME +) (TV) DISPLAY)

The following screen will be displayed indicating the error count.
