CAUTION

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 pr one 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.

1-3. PROCESS AFTER FIXING FLASH ERROR

When “FLASH error” (Self-diagnosis Code E : 91 : 01) occurs, to prevent any abnormal situation caused by high voltage, settin g of the flash
is changed automatically to disabling charge and flash setting.
After fixing, this setting needs to be deactivated. Flash error code can be initialized by the operations on the HOME screen.

Method for Initializing the Flash Error Code

Initialize

Initializes the setting to the default setting. Even if you execute this function, the images
stored in the internal memory are retained.

1 Select [Initialize] with v/V on the control button, then press z.

The message “Initialize all settings” appears.

2 Select [OK] with v, then press z.

The settings are reset to the default setting.

To cancel initializing

Select [Cancel] in step 2, then press z.

Be sure not to power off the camera while initializing.

1-4. METHOD FOR COPYING OR ERASING THE DATA IN INTERNAL MEMORY

The data can be copied/erased by the operations on the HOME screen. (When erasing the data, execute formatting the internal memory.)

Note 1: When replacing the SY-201 board, erase the data in internal memory of the board before replacement.
Note 2: When replacing the SY-201 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”.

1 Insert a “Memory Stic k Duo” ha ving sufficient free capacity.
2 Select [Copy] with v/V on the control button, then press z .

The message “ A l l data in internal memory will be copied” appears.

3 Select [OK] with v, then press z.

Copying starts.

To cancel copying

Select [Cancel] in step 3, then press z.

Use a fully charged battery pack. If you attempt to copy image files using a battery pack with little
remaining charge, the battery pack may run out, causing copying to fail or possibly corrupting the data.

You cannot select images to copy.
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 format the internal memory
([Format] in [Internal Memory Tool]).

A new folder is created on the “Memory Stick Duo” and all the data will be copied to it. You cannot
choose a specific folder and copy images to it.

The (Print order) marks on the images are not copied.

Method for Formatting the Internal Memory

This item does not appear when a “Memory Stick Duo” is inserted in the camera.

Format

Formats the internal memory.

Note that formatting permanently erases all data in the internal memory, including even protected images.

1 Select [Format] with v/V on the control button, then press z.

The message “All data in internal memory will be erased” appears.

2 Select [OK] with v, then press z.

Formatting starts.

To cancel formatting

Select [Cancel] in step 2, then press z.

1-5. HOW TO WRITE DATA TO INTERNAL MEMORY

Usually, the camera has been set so as to disable the data writing from the PC to the internal memory of the camera.
This setting must be changed temporarily when the data is to be written to the internal memory such as a case after the board replacement.
To change the setting, use the write enable tool “WriteEnableTool.exe”.

Data writing method

1) Connect the PC to the camera (USB mode: Mass Storage), and switch the driver to the “Sony Seus USB Driver”.

2) Start the Write Enable Tool and the SeusEX.

3) Click the [Activate Write Enable Mode] button of the Write Enable Tool.

4) Upon completion of the setting change, the following message will be displayed.

5) Return the driver to the original one, and connect the PC to the camera (USB mode: Mass Storage).

6) Write the data read out into the PC to the internal memory of the camera.

7) Disconnect the PC from the camera, and turn off the camera.

Note: By turning off the camera, the write enable setting is reset.

NOTE FOR REPAIR

2. DISASSEMBLY

• Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of bent at the terminal.
Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly.

• When remove a connector, don’t pull at wire of connector. It is possible that a wire is snapped.

• When installing a connector, don’t press down at wire of connector.
It is possible that a wire is snapped.

• Do not apply excessive load to the gilded flexible board.

Cut and remove the part of gilt
which comes off at the point.
(Be careful or some
pieces of gilt may be left inside)

DISCHARGING OF THE ST-194 BOARD’S CHARGING CAPACITOR (C205)

The charging capacitor (C205) of the ST-194 board is charged
up to the maximum 315 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 dischar ging when the
main power of the unit is simply turned off. Therefore, the
remaining voltage must be discharged as described below.

Preparing the Short Jig

To preparing the short jig, a small clip is attached to each end of
a resistor of 1 kΩ /1 W (1-215-869-11).
Wrap insulating tape fully around the leads of the resistor to
prevent electrical shock.

Alminum Elect Cap
180uF 315V
(C205)

1 kΩ/1 W

Wrap insulating tape.

Note: High-voltage cautions

Discharging the Capacitor

Short-circuit between the two points with the short
jig about 10 seconds.
To avoid the spark with the metal plate,wrap the
short jig with the insulation tape.
