Series
The above models are classified as green products (*1).
This Service Manual describes replacement parts for the green products. When repairing these green
product(s), use the part(s) described in this manual and lead-free solder (*2).
For (*1) and (*2), see the next page.
(*1) GREEN PRODUCT PROCUREMENT
The EC is actively promoting the WEEE & RoHS Directives that define standards for recycling
and reuse of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and for the Restriction of the use of
certain Hazardous Substances. From July 1, 2006, the RoHS Directive will prohibit any marketing
of new products containing lead.
Increasing attention is given to issues related to the global environmental. Toshiba Corporation
recognizes environmental protection as a key management tasks, and is doing its utmost to
enhance and improve the quality and scope of its environmental activities. In line with this,
Toshiba proactively promotes Green Procurement, and seeks to purchase and use products,
parts and materials that have low environmental impacts.
Green procurement of parts is not only confined to manufacture. The same green parts used in
manufacture must also be used as replacement parts.
(*2) LEAD-FREE SOLDER
This product is manufactured using lead-free solder as a part of a movement within the CE
industry at large to be environmentally responsible. Lead-free solder must be used in the servicing
and repair of this product.
WARNING
This product is manufactured using lead free solder.
DO NOT USE LEAD BASED SOLDER TO REPAIR THIS PRODUCT !
The melting temperature of lead-free solder is higher than that of leaded solder by 86°F to 104°F
(30°C to 40°C). Use of a soldering iron designed for lead-based solders to repair product made
with lead-free solder may result in damage to the component and or PCB being soldered. Great
care should be made to ensure high-quality soldering when servicing this product –especially
when soldering large components, through-hole pins, and on PCBs – as the level of heat required
to melt lead-free solder is high.
Precautions
Safety Precautions for Service
This section provides critical information for safety. Be sure to observe the content.
Meaning of each indication is as follows:
DANGER
Safety indications mean that death or serious injury may be caused to service personnel
and/or surrounding people or users due to incorrect work by neglecting safety instructions or due to resulting defects of the product, which indicates imminence of danger.
WARNING
Death or serious injury may be caused to service personnel and/or surrounding people
or users due to incorrect work by neglecting the following instructions or due to
resulting defects of the product.
CAUTION
Injury or physical damage* may be caused to service personnel and/or surrounding
people or users due to incorrect work by neglecting the following instructions or due to
resulting defects of the product.
* Physical damage includes damage to buildings, household goods, properties, livestock, and pets.
WARNING
• Unplug the power cable before starting work (for example, disassembly) that does not need power
supply.
Otherwise, it may cause electric shock.
• Use an insulation transformer and/or wear protective gloves when power is ON, and unplug the power
cable when replacing parts to avoid electric shock.
• Use specified spare parts of the product for replacement.
Since some parts have safety characteristics (fire resistance, withstand voltage, etc.), use replacement parts
with same characteristics.
For safety-sensitive parts specified by marking in circuit diagrams or parts lists, use specified parts.
• After repair work is completed, properly reassemble disassembled parts and securely reconnect cables
as they were.
For safety reasons, some insulating materials such as tubes and tapes are used, and some parts are mounted
with a gap from the board surface. Furthermore, internal wiring is kept away from heating parts or highvoltage parts by using clampers or by other means. When reassembling/reconnecting these parts, put them as
they were.
Do not catch the internal cables by the cabinet or cover. Improper assembling or cable connection may cause
electric leak or fire, which may lead to an accident on the user side.
• After repair work is completed, unplug the power cable, and measure the insulation resistance between
the external metal portion and plug blade with a 500V megger. The resistance shall be 1M ohms or
more.
If the resistance is lower than 1M ohms, inspect and rectify the product.
• Do not alter the product.
Alteration of the product may cause malfunction or failures, which may lead to an accident such as electric
leak or fire on the user side.
• Advise users to keep children away from the on-site work area.
Children in the work area may be injured by tools, disassembled product or parts.
Precautions for Removing the Built-in Battery
DANGER
Do not attempt to drive a nail into the built-in battery, nor strike it with a hammer, step
on it or otherwise subject it to strong impact. The electrodes may shortcircuit, resulting
in heat generation, explosion or ignition.
DANGER
Do not connect the electrodes (positive/negative terminals) of the built-in battery using
a wire or other metal object. Also avoid carrying or storing the battery together with a
necklace, hairpin or other object made of metal. The electrodes may short-circuit,
resulting in heat generation, explosion or ignition.
DANGER
Do not heat, disassemble or modify the built-in battery or place it in fire or water.
Doing so may cause an explosion, ignition or heat generation, resulting in fire or
serious injury.
DANGER
Do not place the built-in battery near fire or in the heat of the sun.
Doing so may result in fire, explosion or heat generation.
DANGER
Do not bring the built-in battery near heating equipment. Doing so may result in fire,
explosion or heat generation.
DANGER
Wrap the connector of the built-in battery with insulation tape.
Otherwise, the electrodes may short-circuit, resulting in heat generation, explosion or
ignition.
WARNING
Do not place the built-in battery within the reach of small children.
Doing so may result in injury or accident.
WARNING
If leaked fluid from the built-in battery should enter your eye, rinse with clean water
and seek immediate medical attention. Neglecting proper cleaning or medical treatment
may result in eye injury.
