1. Check thearea ofyour repairfor unsoldered or poorly-soldered

connections. Check theentire boardsurfacefor soldersplashes

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 obvioussigns

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 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.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following

safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

DCR-VX2100/VX2100E

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.

(Take care that there are

some pieces of gilt left inside)

When remove a connector, don't pull at wire of connector.

Be in danger of the snapping of a wire.

When installing a connector, don't press down at wire of connector.

1-2. SERVICE NOTE

1. 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 power is shut off so

that the unit cannot operate.

These following two methods are available to prevent this. Take note of which to use during repairs.

Method 1.

Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B) to the LANC jack, and set the commander switch to the “ADJ” side.

Method 2.

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

2. TO TAKE OUT A CASSETTE WHEN NOT EJECT (FORCE EJECT)

1Refer to page 2-3 to remove the upper handle block assembly.

2Refer to page 2-6 to remove the cabinet (L) assembly.

3Refer to page 2-6 to remove the mechanism deck (Including VC-358 board and DD-216 board).

4Remove DD-216 board from the mechanism deck (Including VC-358 board).

5Remove the CN022 (27P 0.3 mm) ofVC-358 board.

6Supply +4.5V from the DC power supply to the loading motor and unload with a pressing the cassette compartment.

1. SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

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

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

or LCD window 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 backed up by the coin-type lithium battery of ZM-030 board BT801, 802.When the (upper) handle block

is removed, the “self-diagnosis display”data will be lost by initialization.

2. SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY

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

viewfinder, LCD screen or LCD window consists of an alphabet

and 4-digit numbers, which blinks at3.2 Hz.This 5-character display

indicates the “repaired by:”, “block”in which the problem occurred,

and “detailed code”of the problem.
