Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered

connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes

and bridges.

Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are

"pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.

Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly

transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point

them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

Look for parts which, through functioning, show obvious signs

of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and

recommend their replacement.

Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

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.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following

safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

COVER

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis

function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder, or LCD

screen what to do. This function consists of two display; self-

diagnosis display and service mode display.

Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction

manual.

Note:

The self-diagnosis display data will be kept even if the lithium battery (BT5201 of CK-131 board) is removed.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the

viewfinder or LCD screen consists of an alphabet and 4-digit number,

which blinks at 3.2Hz. This 5-character display indicates the

"repaired by:", "block" in which the problem occurred, and "detailed

code" of the problem.
