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 flo w) 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.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

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

1-1. NOTE FOR REPAIR

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.

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

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.

1-2. 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 of f so
that the unit cannot operate.
The following method is available to prevent this.

Method 1.

Use the AC power adaptor (AC-L10, AC-VQ800 etc.).
