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.
Notes on chip component replacement
· Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
· Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
z
UNLEADED SOLDER
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the
lead-free 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.
z
USABLE FORMAT
Use ISO9660 Level 1 format.
· IC401 (microcomputer), IC451 (frash RAM) on Main board
cannot be replaced individually.
Replace it with Main board assembly for service.
· IC461, 463 (frash RAM) on NAND board cannot be replaced
individually.
Replace it with NAND board assembly for service.
·When exchanging NAND board sub ASSY (for service),SL701
of the B-side may be open.
In this case, please perform the solder bridge of SL701.

SERVICING NOTES
[ NOTES ON USING "MEMORY STICK DUO" ]
·
Do not remove "Memory Stick Duo" during reading or writing data.
·
Data may be damaged in the following cases.
­ The Network Walkman is removed from the USB cradle or the dedicated USB cable is unplugged while reading or writing data.
­ The "Memory Stick" is used in a location subject to static electricity or electric noise.
·
Creating backup copies of important data is recommended.
[ NOTES ON FORMATTING (INITIALIZING) ]
"Memory Stick Duo" is shipped with a FAT format as the standard format.
To format "Memory Stick", please use devices conformable with the "Memory Stick".
If "Memory Stick" is formatted using Windows Explorer, "FORMAT ERROR" will be displayed and audio files cannot be played on the
Network Walkman. On Windows XP, you can format "Memory Stick" properly. When you format "Memory Stick", always perform either
one of the following:
·
Follow the instructions of "Formatting memory".
·
Format using the supplied Sonic Stage software.
For details on how to format using the Sonic Stage software, refer to "Sonic Stage Online Help: Formatting MG Memory Stick".
[ DISPLAYING ON WINDOWS EXPLORER ]
When you connect Network Walkman to your computer with the supplied USB cable, you can display the data stored on "Memory Stick" or
built-in flash memory as an external drive (for example, as the D drive) using Windows Explorer.
·
Data checked out with the Sonic Stage software will be stored in a "HIFI" folder. Do not edit data stored in the "HIFI" folder using
Windows Explorer. Data copied or edited using Windows Explorer cannot be played on your Network Walkman.
·You can display data that has been stored on other "Memory Stick" compatible devices (JPEG,MPEG format, etc.,).
For in formation on how to handle data except in the "HIFI" folder, refer to the instruction manual that comes with the equipment with which
